Three photographs taken in the late summer of 1944 at the Reigle-Dietrich homestead on Specktown Road, Specktown, Lykens Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
The above photo was taken looking southeast with the view in the background of some old farm buildings. At least one of these buildings was destroyed when Specktown Road was diverted through the Riegle-Dietrich homestead property.
Norman Gasbarro Sr. is holding the grandson of William Dietrich (1896-1977) and Helen [Hoffman] Dietrich (1895-1977).
The girl at right in the picture above was a visiting grandchild of Calvin Engle (1884-1950) and Katie [Hoffman] Engle (1888-1973). The barn, upper left in picture is still standing in 2017.
The same two grandchildren are seen here with the Engle homestead in the upper right of the picture. That building is also still standing in 2017.
The Dietrich’s and the Engle’s were neighbors along the old Specktown Road.
