Thank you, again, Gene - I have been helped by another kind Lister, and
think I may have located where the EDEL property was , outside Abington - I
went on Mapquest and found Limekiln, and followed it down to a Whitemarsh
Mem. Park, but I could not locate an Oxford Church Road, I assume it
was in that area, near Horsham, just N of Prospective - if there is
someone familiar with that area, maybe they remember if the Oxford Church
Road was taken up by the Whitemarsh Memorial Park- or if the name was
changed -- maybe the EDEL land is now the park ???? or maybe it is
now a WalMart, or a car-wash !! Sally
