I’m born and raised here and it’s so cool to see the history of this place

took some of our church members, New Prospect Baptist Church to Yoho's store for lunch and Larry was so gracious to show our group his version of Solsberry. My mom, Bernice(Abram) Jolly went to Solsberry School. Knew so many people from the historical town of Solsberry. Thanks, Larry for showing us Mini Solsberry.

WOW! I went to the old two-roomed school in Solsberry. So I know a some things about that little town even though it has been a very very long time ago..(I think the old outhouse is still there)..

Fun fact: at the intersection at yohos and the road that goes to the Hudson’s old chainsaw repair shop is a chunk of concrete: It’s a piece of the original town of one of the buildings

LOVE IT! Excellent! I use to stop the IPL coal train there on the way back from Indy and go to the Yoho store and refill my coffee thermos,

Apparently Solsberry used to be a decently large train stop place

My Dad also went to Salisbury High School (Donald Burch). I have some things of his. He passed in 2014. There is basketball uniform and a letterman’s jacket. Is there a place that I might donate them to? Thank You for any suggestions? Jerry Burch
