In May of 1998 there were three tornados that touched down in the Salisbury, PA area, the hometown of my great, great, great, great grandfather. Part of the original Engle Farm is now called the Mast Farm.
Bill Mast Farm before the tornado struck. Picture is taken looking north. Sam Engle built the white house in the upper left corner around 1905 according to Edwin Mast (Bill's Father). The road going thru the farm from left to right is called Engles Mill Road. The road next to the silo on the left of the screen is Piney Run Road. The Engle Mill was situated due south of the white house in the large grassy area. The water for the mill came from off screen to the right of the current water pond that you can see in the picture. The raceway went across the south side of the white machinery building in the center of the picture then to the mill and then to Piney Creek that is past the grove of trees to left of this picture. Piney Creek runs parallel to the left side of the picture. The Engle Grist Mill burned down in 1920. The millstones are located in Salisbury, PA at a house that is two houses west of the old cemetery on Engles Mill Road (about 1/4 mile east of stoplight in town). They are driveway markers. You can't miss them.
If Edwin Mast is correct about Sam Engle building the house then my guess is: Samuel E Engle b 1885, son of John J, son of John S., son of Clement Engle was the builder. His father, grandfather, and two of his brothers are listed as maintaining the grist mill in the Max Engle genealogy book.
This is how the farm looked a few days after the tornado hit in May 1998. Notice how many trees are gone. The entire machinery shed is gone. 1/2 of the livestock barn's roof is gone. The three silos at top had to be destroyed and rebuilt as did the silo at the bottom of the page. The top of the picture is east with Engles Mill Road running out the top. Notice how many cars are along the road. They were driven there by people who came to help clean up the farm. Hundreds of people came during the first few days to help clean up the farm. The bright white room in the bottom left corner is an addition to the original Sam Engle Farmhouse where Bill's father and mother live.
During my conversation with Edwin Mast he mentioned the many volunteers who came to his son's fields and assisted in picking up all the debris in the fields: ashalt shingles, roofing nails, etc that would make the cows sick, puncture farm equipment tires and ruin harvesters.
The Engle Farm is on the hill in the distance.
This picture is take from the east pointing west with the Bill Mast house on the right side middle of the screen. Imagine the tornado coming right at you through what used to be green trees. Engles Mill Road runs to the bottom left corner AND in a "Z" pattern up the hill in the distance. Over the hill directly throught the "hole" in the trees cut by the tornado is Salisbury, PA. Piney Creek runs across the center of the photo.
Above the Mast Farm is the Englewood Farm (the original Clement Engle Farm). The farmhouse is dead center to the right of the white road.
To get to the Clement Engle cemetery: Just before you get to the Englewood Farmhouse from the Mast Farm there is a red gate on the south side of the road. The pasture that you see to the left of the farm buildings continues up the hill toward the left. The tree line continues also. The cemetery is located at the top of the pasture about 50 yards to the left of what you can see in the picture. Bill Mast took us thru the red gate and about 1/4 mile through the pasture to the line of trees where the cemetary was located. BEWARE: the fence is electrified. You can crawl under it though without any trouble.
There is a Revolutionary War Veteran marker in the cemetary near Clement's unmarked grave. There are other Engle and Lowry gravestones also.
