Below are
photos of a store fixture bracket that was found on the west
bank of Duck Creek in December 1964, approximately 1/8 of a mile
east of the Garland Memorial (Pioneer) (Masonic) Cemetery, located
at Garland and Miller Roads in Garland. The bracket was discovered
in what appeared to be an old trash dump. A depression in the
banks of the creek (portions of the depression still remain)
at the site suggests this was the location of an early crossing. (Sources: 1880 New York Census Soundex, E. D. 640, sheet 4, line 1; Trow's 1900/1901 General Directory of the Boroughs of Manhattan & Bronx, p. 1018; Annual Report of the Commissioner of Patents for the year 1894, p. 247) |
