Percy Haddow didn’t even get his barn boots off before falling asleep in a big upholstered chair with his old dog at his feet in his undated photo, supplied by Carol Haddow Gates. Percy was born in Arena in 1880 to Robert and Mary Jaquish Haddow and continued the family farm in Millbrook until auctioning off the 40-cow registered Guernsey herd in 1947.
The rather elegant farmhouse, below, was acquired by the Tuscarora Club and burned in the 1950s. Percy married Ada Reichard and died at the home of their son, Robert, in Morrisville March 3, 1961.
