Benjamin and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Benjamin is incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Benjamin was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Benjamin and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud home owner! I would encourage you to consider Benjamin Briel Lee for any kind of loan.Mr, Benjamin Lee Contact informaions.via WhatsApp +1-989-394-3740 Email- 247officedept@gmail.com.Alarico Adalberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513514841373679171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514447163742462932.post-77446217483655458372019-01-03T20:24:23.517-05:002019-01-03T20:24:23.517-05:00Barbara, are you still in the area?

My grandmother was Mabel Hillegass - a descendant of Michael Hillegass, who as you noted, was one of the initial investors in the Lehigh Coal Mine Company. Your story makes the creation of the company much clearer in my mind, and clears up some confusion I had. I love talking with my wife's grandmother (see comment above)...her first hand memories of the coal company and the canal are priceless.<br /><br />Karl ScheffyKarl Scheffyhttp://www.scheffy.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514447163742462932.post-16877932065458885472012-01-25T17:55:29.955-05:002012-01-25T17:55:29.955-05:00Karen,

Her father was the Lock-Keeper. Family photos of the canal and the three girls playing at the lock house make all this very real. Yesterday she noted that when it got cold in winter - they could not go to school....as it was unsafe for their neighbor (3/4 of a mile north) to take the rowboat across the river to the main side of town where the school and store were.<br /><br />Barbara ScheffyBarbara Scheffyhttp://www.scheffy.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514447163742462932.post-24745989521335768842011-11-16T19:26:28.943-05:002011-11-16T19:26:28.943-05:00Karen:
