Canaan, Home of the Edward Dromgoole Family
This report was written by Dromgoole and Lou Allie Heath after the couple visited the Edward Dromgoole Estate in July of 1971. The report includes pictures taken of the front and rear views of the Dromgoole Home, known as Canaan. These pictures were taken by Dromgoole Heath in November of 1971 and January of 1972. In the report, the Heaths tell about their visit to Canaan and how it has deteriorated since Edward Dromgoole occupied it between 1780 to 1835. They discuss the layout of the house and the position of the rooms in relation to each other. They speculate what each room was used for. They also discuss who is probably buried in the grayeyard next to the house. Later in the report, an excerpt from the book Religion on the American Frontier, 1783 -1840 is included to provide biographical information on Edward Dromgoole. They also include information about the lives of Edward Dromgoole's 10 children, footnotes, and a bibliography. The Heaths compiled this information in 1972 and sent it to their relatives.
