Now, another article, this one from 1960 when Speedwell Forge turned 200. It has a good picture of Dawn's father and grandfather. (The other two photos -- cows in the circle, the mansion with some 1950's cars -- I published earlier from the original photos.) Sadly, the article references Steven Darlington III, who was killed some years later when an automobile struck his bicycle. Reese Darlington is now a successful record producer in Los Angeles. And as scary as this thought is, I'm going to be the "country gentleman of historic old Speedwell Forge."
