Specktown – The Sulky Revisited, 1946 (2)

A photograph of a great-great-grandchild of Hannah L. [Rickert] Riegle (1847-1919) sitting in a sulky which was purchased for her first great-grandchild, Kathryn E. Dietrich in 1915.

The above photo was probably taken at a farm along Specktown Road, probably the Sitlinger farm, located east of the Riegle-Dietrich homestead. The fame building at rear left has not been identified.

The story of the sulky was previo9usly presented on this blog.  See:

Kathryn Dietrich and Her Sulky, 1916

The above photo was taken at the Riegle-Dietrich homestead.  The home shown in the background-right is the Evitts-Engle homestead which is still standing along the junction of Old Specktown Road and Specktown Road.

The final photo (above) was taken along Specktown Road, probably near the old Specktown Covered Bridge.
