This photo was captioned “Maple Street”. It was taken by Leon R. Willard and donated to the Society by Mrs. Walter Hardy. It is a view of Main Street. The Village Cemetery fence can be seen to the left of the road. On the right is the Stedman Houghton house which was home to James Roger and his chickens.
Center Village Cemetery
Interesting hand-tinted photo of the cemetery pond.

James Roger diary entry
24th (Wednesday)
Warm and saltry [sultry?], Wind west. Thunderstorm commenced about 3pm and continued till 7 pm, but only a few drops of rain. David took Hamish to Depot in morning and fixed up his reaping machine after. I sowed some sweet peas, nasturtiums and flower seeds, hoed some corn and 2 rows of potatoes in incubator field. Rain came on about 8pm a nice shower. Grover Chuctour [?] Died 8:40 am today.
I left out the word cemetery,
Main St going by the Center village is not level today. Interesting that it was level then??
