Near Owasco in times gone by!



Near Owasco in times gone by!

No Native Americans are here now, only tourists.  Amusement Party has become part of only the silence of the ages!  The lake as taken its past and buried it deep within its depths.

Gone are the watercolor artists that sat in Sunday colors with brush in hand to capture its beauty.  The sound of the lapping water disturbed by the hum of and occasional motor powering a boat up its waterway.

So sad to think of in its quiet.  Indians gone and dispossessed, amusements gone to the scrape heap and only nature remains to remind us of times gone by!

Mr. Johnston is not Home!



Mr. Johnston is not Home!

I sit and wait for him to return, but he does not come.  I have grown tired over all these years, I have become lonely and I despair, for Mr. Johnston has left me alone to grieve for those happy days and loving nights.  There is no laughter to fill these walls, there is no joy.

The children have left for their future but alas, I have none. I can only listen to the vacant haunting sounds of the wind while I wait for Mr. Johnston to come home to me!
