    Returning from a trip up the Mountain road we proceed a short distance north and come to another old landmark which for many years was the home of Clark Botsford. It is located under the shadows of an old primeval forest where the sun is hardly seen until towards noon.
    Mr. Botsford was one of the most thrifty residents of Chestnut Tree Hill. He owned a large and productive farm, and in connection with farming he was engaged extensively in the timber business, being associated with Burritt Davis in getting ship timber for New York.
    He was twice married. His first wife was Betsy M. Hine. Three children were born to them.
