Remembrances of Farm Life in Montour County With Harry James

Born in 1927, Harry James grew up on a farm in the Mooresburg area of Montour County and attended the Clark's One Room School that is pictured. At the age of ninety-seven, Harry recalls his early years working behind a horse-drawn plow, the dangers of working on the farm, and the changes brought about by modern farm machinery. Harry was also one of the originators of the Washingtonville Fair. His vivid memories provide a real appreciation of the hard work involved on the farm, and being part of the farming community, which still exhibits the pride, the work culture, and the willingness to lend one another a helping hand.
