vey and the efforts of Joseph T. Singe-

Rambler learns that these works were
called the "Antietam furnace and iron
works." that the original company con-
sisted of Joseph Chapline. Samuel

Chapline furnished the land warrant

There were seven articles Of agreement,

There was an old newspaper clipping
in the possession of J. P. Smith OF

as follows: beginning on the Potow-

the Anti-Eatam creek and extending
parallel to the Anti-Eatam creek until
