Amos Pond Pickering
By Susan Ward
My father Joseph Amos came home from WWII in April of 1945 after 5.5 years service and married Frances Campkin May 9, 1945. He bought acerage with a small sand pit and eventually it led to an aggregate, loam, sand, and gravel business.
When the product was depleted it created a larger pond. Joe planted Willow Trees on the banks and the neighborhood has and still does enjoy swimming and sledding.
