The Death of Mrs. Leah Rendell, Heart's Content, 1913




Yesterday, we posted a story by Ted Rowe about the Rendell Forge and a picture as it was in 2003. Above is a photo I took of the same building.  You can see the roofline has changed, and the siding was replaced with cedar shakes (shingles). The trees have grown up dramatically behind the building.

The other photo that Ted shared was of the Rendell boys at the time of their mother's funeral in 1913. Below is a copy of the article that ran in the Evening Telegram, 1913-09-30:



We will have more on the Rendell Forge in the future!

She was mine as well! My grandfather was Raymond Rendell, him and his wife (my grandmother) raised me.
