B. Stage Stop Lane
Roy Cook: It was a fairly new school, you know what I mean.
Bob Zybach: This is Stage Stop Lane, and this is the first time we've heard that there was a school up in this area here.
Roy Cook: There was a structure that looked like a school, it was right in here.
Bob Zybach: Okay. IKE V/NJ Just off the road there about 1 00 feet you think?
Roy Cook: Yeah. Yeah, ballpark.
Bob Zybach: Maybe where that house is now? To the south of us?
Roy Cook: Yeah, right about there.
Bob Zybach: Do you remember a structure over there by those large fir and that maple over there, on that little flat over in there to the right?
Roy Cook: I don't. I can't say there was or there wasn't.
Bob Zybach: IKE V/NJ Okay, well here's a draw. Is this the draw that you were referring to?
Roy Cook: Where the school . . .?
Bob Zybach: IKE V/NJ Yeah.
Roy Cook: Yeah, I'm sure. Because it looks reasonably close to the same.
Bob Zybach: Okay.
C. Browns' Place
Roy Cook: Close to those trees there.
Bob Zybach: Okay, so we've just come down around the corner next to Goviers here, and you remember a house being out in here to the right?
Roy Cook: Yeah, right in here somewhere. It was a pretty good sized house and it seems like there's another little lane went up to an old house in here. Now that may have been Govier's, but I.
Bob Zybach: Okay, right where those silver maple are there was a house that burned down [Hildebrand House Fire] in '37 or '38, that was the Brown place.
Roy Cook: That could have been the one. Yeah, it could have been there instead of there.
Bob Zybach: Do you remember anything about this house or anybody that lived in it?
Roy Cook: It was a great big two story house and painted yellow, and that's about the size of it. I can't remember names worth a toot. Names aren't my long suit.
Bob Zybach: Up here on the left we 're coming up to where the old Govier mill used to be. Do you remember anything about that?
Roy Cook: Yeah. TJh, it sat over, right over here. It was a little gyppo mom and pop operation. It wasn't a big mill. It was right in here somewhere. Well, we're on a straight stretch, things have changed so much. Whether it was here or a quarter of a mile. seems like it was right in here somewhere.
D. South Boundary Road
Bob Zybach: Okay, next to the Govier's house, before you'd get there, there was a little road here, could it have been on that road on the left there? Okay, we're on South Boundaiy road, do you
