Hilda Bready (Cashell) was ten, Louise Bready (Watson) three and a half when this picture was taken in 1902. Hilda lived to 96, Louise to 83. The Bready and Cashell families owned the old homes Llewellyn Fields and Montmorency on farms that became Northwest Branch Park.

Bob and Drew Stabler, sons of Stanley and Gladys Drew Hawkins Stabler, are the seventh generation of that important Sandy Spring family. Today they run the large Pleasant Valley farming operation, planting more than 4,000 acres of family and leased land in corn and soybeans. Drew is Chairman of the bank, and both are leaders in state and national agricultural organizations.
