Due to the length and the
amount of time required for the first Chaneysville page to load,
it seems like
a good time to start a second
page. It is great to have so much interest, and so many people
willing to
share their photographs!
I hope that these terrific pictures continue to become available
for all of us to
view and appreciate! Thank
you to all who are contributing them.
Jerry Miller Tanker06@aol.com has recently spoken with Gladys Bennett,
wife of Donald Bennett
who authored "The Family
Records of Bedford County, PA". She kindly made several
photos available to Jerry and he in turn has sent them to be
included on the page.
These are School Class pictures
from the Blues Gap and Piney Lick Schoolhouses. They are wonderful
photos! The images are sharp and one of the pictures even has
the students identified!

Jerry writes the following:
"Here is the Piney Lick Schoolhouse, which was located just south of the present-day
Chaneysville Fire Department along Rt. 326. The farthest
right student is Donald
S. Bennett."
(If anyone can identify
any of the other students in this second picture, please contact
Jerry Tanker06@aol.com or clabaugh@richnet.net
and their names will then be
added to this page.)
Thank you Jerry Miller
and Gladys Bennett for making these photos available.
Chaneysville Covered
Bridges
It's been almost a year
since the Chaneysville photo showing two covered bridges was
posted on the
first Chaneysville page.
Well, here it is again, with a bit more detail.
I've been intrigued by the
two covered bridges in the photo and also, just exactly where
was the photo taken?
I've driven over the surrounding
roads quite a few times, trying to decide where those two covered
bridges
could have been located.
Well, Jerry Miller Tanker06@aol.com has just sent another great photo -
of a Chaneysville covered
bridge.
Jerry suspects that this
photo was probaby taken in the early to mid 1950s, since: "The
photo was an early
color picture. The bridge
was located, just where Rt. 326 goes South out of Chaneysville,
right where it
makes a turn to the South
on the map. I'm not sure when it was replaced. It's now
a two lane concrete bridge."

Thank you Jerry!! Does anyone
have any additional information about when this bridge may
have been constructed and
when it was demolished ?
If
you have a Chaneysville area picture that you know would be enjoyed,
or perhaps want help in identifing people or places in the photo,
I would be happy to post it on this page.
I am
very interested in receiving your comments, suggestions and any
information that you would care to share. For information on sending
a copy of the photo, or for any additional comments, please contact
me at: clabaugh@richnet.net
