Turn your thoughts to 1840, when our other grandfather and grandmother and family (Isaac and Amy Ellsworth Brock), came to Hebron. Can you young people visualize the trip? A yoke of oxen, and six weeks on the road from Grafton, NY to Hebron, Potter Co, PA-- a day's trip, or a little more, with your automobile. Imagine them reaching here and choosing a spot, cutting down trees, and clearing a space large enough, at first, to build a log cabin. Then the real struggle began, to keep the wolf from the door in more than one sense of the word. I've listened to my mother tell how, as a child, she had sat on the door-step and listened to the howling of the wolves close by. The future can never bring anything to us that we should be more proud of than our brave old ancestors, "heroes and heroines."
Mother dear (Mary Angeline Brock Dingman) was only six monhs old when she made that trip. But I fancy she was as happy as any of the weary travelers. Often it was hard to find a place to stop overnight. Grandma said once, they stopped at an inn, but everything was so mysterious and queer, they were afraid to stay after resting the stock. (I think they brought a cow and a calf.) Then they started on the road again. How worn and weary they must have been before they reached Potter Co! ___________________
