Eldred, New York
Eldred, New York, is in the area where my parents grew up. I am told that Eldred is named after my great great Grandpa James Eldred whose daughter, Mary, married my great grandpa William Henry Austin.
I have a few photos of the area that I think are interesting, including the Eldred Methodist Church, which was one of the churches my Grandpa Briggs pastored.
This is the Collins home, I think. My understanding is that my Austin grandparents were living there when my father was born. So that is where my dad was born.

I can’t believe you’ve done this whole thing!! I’m enjoying it, as I grew up in Barryville and went to Eldred to school and know the area in the postcards well. Of course Dad and I lived in Eldred 2 years after we were married and before he went off to college. Mom. (Mary)
