Afton, Chenango Co., NY in 1873
Bainbridge Republican, July 19, 1873
One of the finest little villages on the line of this road is Afton. Here you will find some 600 people, a number of stores, several carriage shops, that of Jackson & Humphrey doing first-class work, several hotels, a number of saw mills, spoke and shingle factories, a tip top Union school and a live lot of people. We were shown through the spoke and shingle factory of T. Landers & Son a few days since. They have some splendid machinery and do a heavy business sending a large portion of their work to New York and Philadelphia. A portion of their shingles are used in this village--Oneonta Liberal.
