2013. Sugarhouse built circa 1960 by Ken Barrett who owned farm after Powers. Forest
encroaching.
Research by Helen Chantal Pike and
Dave Morrison, interviewing residents: Lyman Church was original farmer here;
he married daughter of Claude Davison up the road. The couple's only child,
daughter Stella, married Ernest Powers (third cousin of Upper Waterford
Powers). Stella became Town Clerk. Next owner was Ken Barrett, who built the
sugarhouse located in brush behind barn. Next owner William Piper shored up
posts with concrete blocks; never farmed property but may have kept horses.
