A 1950s aerial view of the farm in Specktown, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, that in 1875 belonged to the Widow Salome ‘Sarah” [Paul] Schoffstall (1799-1880). Her husband, Jacob Schoffstall, born 1799, died 1858, and his widow lived here alone for several years afterward. However, the home shown in the aerial view was eventually divided into two separate living quarters, with one area occupied by daughter Magdalena “Molly” Schoffstall (1833-1904) and her husband George W. Tschopp Sr. (1827-1900) and their children. After the Widow Sarah Schoffstall died, the Tschopp’s purchased the farm, but by 1892 sold it to Charles T. Phillips.
