Guy: Thanks for rectifying the photograph! The Bailey family resided in Atsion for many years and likely remained tenured there until the state acquired the property, when, I believe, they received a life estate in their property. Their house is the one featured in Post #20 of this thread...

Folks: I can’t make any promises here, but the other day I spoke to Bill Bailey’s widow (a long-time friend of my mother) and inquired about old photographs of Atsion. She indicated that she had many, but it would take her some time to dig them out. So, I am hoping that in the future we may...

Man—this thread really sucks! :mrgreen: Best regards, Jerseyman

Hey, Folks—I’m not telling anyone here what they should or should not consult, whether on-line or off-line. If you all like using Wiki-Tiki, more power to you. This whole thread started because I refuse to accept as definitive evidence that Wikipedia states the birds on the Great Seal of...
