 Purgatory Village In The 1940's This photo is the same as the above photo but just a different time of year. It was taken from the front yard of Fred Edgecomb's house mid way up Hardscrabble Road. Whippoorwill Road is in the foreground. The lumber mill is left of center. The white building on the left edge is the store pictured in the photo to the left. Next is the shop pictured above with Richard Morris in it. The house to the right belonged to Hulbert and Isabelle Linton and is on Hallowell Road.
