This is just a random assortment of information I've gathered over time, mostly through family members' memories (thanks, Dad!!):
Anthony Borsa. B. 1909 (5?) in Poland. D. November 27, 1961. Cancer, possibly a stroke.
Josephine Borsa. B. ? D. 1978. The house was converted into two separate apartments after her husband died.
William Norr. Also, Nychypor and Nyczypur. My father's father. He lived on a farm further out towards the Deleware. He would ride his horse to this farm and help Mr. Borsa with chores after he was done with school for the day. Gram tells me he loved the place so much he wanted to retire out here. However, fate intervened. B. ? D. 1988, cancer.
There's a stone on the walkway from the house to the barns that bears the inscription "A M." We think it was one of the Marsh's daughters, no idea of when it was done.
One barn was taken down in the 1970's or 80's. The top two floors of wood were in very bad shape. Only the stone and concrete foundation remains.
Another barn is used for storage of old tools, and some old farm equipment, such as horseshoes, hunting traps, and a scythe.
The third barn is used as a sort of detached garage for outdoor equipment such as lawnmowers, etc.

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteThis may be a bit odd, but I'd love to know if we are distantly related somehow. I've been searching for awhile for information on my great grandmother, Teodozia Nychypor, and I keep coming across the name William Noor. It seems to my that in my childhood I recall my mother referring to "Brother Bill" as my great grandmother's brother (although he could have been my grandmother's brother). Do you know of any connection between the two? Her (Teodozia's) husband was named Michael and they had a daughter, Helen Hofia List nee Nychypor. I happened to be doing some googling and stumbled across your blog.
Thanks! --Tiffany
