   Olney Continued...

Joseph Finneyfrock pounds iron at the Olney smithy, still going strong in 1956. Today his son Dudley carries on Olney's oldest continuous business.

 

Joseph Finneyfrock's blacksmith shop shod horses and mended farm equipment starting in 1885, when founded by his father-in-law Reuben Hines. This 1917 picture includes (from left) Dorsey Hawkins, Finneyfrock, Lee Ward, and Charles Hawkins. The Hawkins family ran a wheelwright shop next to the smithy.
