| Home of John Peters
& Jane (Blakely) |
| The home of John Peters
& Jane (Blakely) located in
Bloomville. After John's death in 1896,
his son William Blakely Peters, wife
Hannah (Rich) Peters, their daughter
Sarah (Peters) Hickok, and son-in-law
William Hendry Hickok, moved to this
house from their earlier residence,
several hundred feet to the west on State
Route 10. |
| Note the interesting
second-story window, which helped Carolyn
identify the house when she photographed
the town of Bloomville in May of 2007. |

"Residence
of Mrs. W.B. Peters - Bloomville,
NY"
Written to
the side of the photo in Hannah's hand,
"I was away when this was taken -
HRP" |
| Prior to his death in 1896,
John Peters and his wife Jane (Blakely)
resided here. Sometime after, his son
William Blakely Peters with his wife
Hannah (Rich), lived here. |

| |
|
| Photographed in 2003, the
residence, which has had the porch
removed, is located at Main and Maple
Street (previously known as Scotch Hill
Rd). |
|
| |
| |
|
| Photographed in 2007, the
once beautiful home of the Peters has now
been vacant approximately ten years and
continues to deteriorate. |

|
| On her 2007 visit to
Bloomville, NY, Carolyn McPherson
received permission to take this picture
through the front door glass. |
|
| |
| |
|
| Weather and neglect has not
been kind to the vacant structure, but
memories of its earlier years carry
special meaning to the Peters descendants
- none of which are residents of
Bloomville. |
