Calvin Engle Farm

An undated photograph of the Calvin Engle home in Specktown, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

Identified in the photo is Art Spotts, but the other person is unknown.

Calvin Engle (1884-1950) and his wife Catherine [Hoffman] Engle (1888-1973)  purchased this farm of 5 acres on 18 August 1942.  Calvin died in 1950 and his widow continued to live there until she sold the property to Eugene Fetterhoff and his wife Betty [Erdman] Fetterhoff on 26 August 1966.

According to family records, this home was built before 1828. In the early part of the 20th century the farm was owned by William Evitts.  During the time the Evitts family lived there, hundreds of photographs were taken and many of them have survived.

On the 1875 Lykens Township map, the 5 acre farm was owned by Susan Daniel.
