Above a screen capture from a Google Maps view of the rectory of Our Lady of the Lake Church in King Ferry, NY. I'm sure that my sisters and cousins will recognize this from summer visits to our Uncle Joe - Rev. Joseph T. Maloney when he was the pastor there. Behind the trees on the left is the church and behind the church is the cemetery. Before looking at the photo, my memory had a picture of a much bigger house. I guess it wasn't that big. Too bad there is not a side view from the right so we could see the pump on the side porch. I guess there was running water in the house but drinking water came from the well via the pump. Does that make sense? It was a long time ago.
As far as I know there is no longer a priest in King Ferry. Like a number of churches in the Diocese of Rochester they have combined with other churches with one priest. In the case of King Ferry the priest is located in Auburn at the end of the lake.

I'll have to look at some of my old pictures. Many years ago Kathy & I stopped by the place. Oh, the memories of our summer visits there. Sure wish I knew what happened to the garments Mary C made for us.
