The road went north across the Templeton Creek (north fork) and essentially came to a grassy end when we were kids. Before 1934, it was the way you went to Dunlapsville. It went up to a place called Shawnee Ford and went across the river on a little iron bridge and then into Dunlapsville.<br /> When they built SR 101, that road wasn't used anymore though you could still walk it,<br /><br />John C.

Did one get filled up so a new one was started or were there other reasons? Also, the road that went toward the Luke's, was it a dead end or did it go further? One of the cemeteries was around there so I guess it was a dead end for some.Beanheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03945628051354240169noreply@blogger.com
