Extra Information

• House relocated and owned by Kingdon Gould. Other buildings have been razed
• note the apple orchard above the house and the beehives on the left
• believe farm was purchased by Orson Haynes from John E. Haynes 1924 (Orson's daughters, Lena and Leta, were born on the Cook place)
• Covered bridge in photo replaced with a more modern bridge 1928-1929
• interior photo of the interior of the Ann Kelly house appears in the Town of Hardenburgh section of Picturesque Ulster
• Hiram Todd one of the young boys in the photo lived 1904-1976 - looks to be between 8 and 10 in the photo, which therefore probably dates from 1912-1914
• Judson Haynes by the barn lived from 1901-1955
