Oral History: Parsil, Stanley; Oct. 21, 1986

Archive
Much information on the Parsil family (and related famlies) and a lot of vignettes of White Oak Ridge Road/Parsonage Hill Road area and life in Millburn in early 1900s (Mr. Parsil was born in 1904). Memories of school there; the few houses; horses and buggies; area was so empty that town dumped garbage in the woods, he said. He also remembers seeing Stewart Hartshorn being driven around in his Pierce-Arrow with the top down, and his "white flowing beard." Interviewed by Liz Howe and Jenks Schachter. NOTE: At end of transcription it says "we will attach a copy of Parsil family genealogy" but none is atttached.
