Local author publishes book of history, visits WFCS students
BY FRANCINE FULTON
“Back in the days of the Depression, the sewing machine was extremely important to my mother,” recalled author Iris Gray Dowling of Cochranville. “She would take clothes from the ragman who would come around. He let my mother pick through the clothes for pennies. She would take the clothes, cut them up and make new clothes for us out of themsnowpants and jackets - and she unraveled the sweaters and made new ones. That’s how she (earned money).”
A photo of the sewing machine, additional personal stories, local history and more are featured in Dowling’s new book, “Days Gone By (Life in 1930s and 1940s),” which details the beginnings of Cochranville, including the history of local farms, school and churches and what life was like during the Great Depression and the World War II years.
“My ancestors came from Ireland and settled in the Cochranville area. My grandmother, who is pictured on the cover, was a descendant of the Cochrans and Watersons, who settled there,” Dowling explained.
“They followed the Muddy Run Creek toward Cream and lived in that area for a century.”
Dowling noted that three generations of her family attended the Oak Grove one-room school and went to churches in the area for more than a century. “My mother also taught at Oak Grove, where she got her first eight years of education,” said Dowling. “She also taught at the Hopewell Building (the former Oxford High School) after having been a high school student there.”
The 157-page book includes many photos both in black and
white and color. “In the back of the book I have a picture of my grandmother’s quilt that she made 1890. I framed it and have it here in my house,” noted Dowling. “In the beginning of book, the first page after the introduction, I have a picture of my grandmother’s old platform rocking chair. I watched her sit in the chair and read the Bible. At the bottom of the page is the dining table where we spend Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners. I wrote in the book, ‘If these pieces of household furniture could talk, what an interesting story they may tell.’”
Dowling also shares stories about living on the family farm. “We had a real country life. I raised the chickens,” she said. “We had two cows, and my brothers and I would milk them and then we walked to Cream to get the school
bus and that was a mile away. We made butter with the churn by hand and sold the butter. Lots of people loved to get the homemade butter.”
Dowling also recalled being a member of a 4-H sewing club. “My dress won first place and was displayed in West Chester. From where I lived in those days, West Chester was a long ways off,” she shared. “It was a great thing to have your dress displayed in a store window, and it was a there for three months.”
Dowling has written more than 15 books, including “History of Churches and Worship Groups in the Oxford Area” and “Mission Stories,” which details true stories from people in the Upper Oxford and Cochranville areas who served as missionaries. She also is a children’s book author. Her most

BY FRANCINE FULTON
The Brandywine Hills Point To Point, featuring horse and pony races, children’s activities and a parade of foxhounds, will be presented on Sunday, April 7, at Brandywine Red Clay Alliance’s H. E.

Serving the community
BY ANN MEAD ASH
The delightful smell of fresh waffles being made wafted out of the kitchen at Leacock Presbyterian Church, 3181 Lincoln Highway East, Paradise, on the afternoon of March 21. Volunteers led by mission committee co-chairs Lois Eshleman and Bonnie Rice were hard at work creating the waffles for the chicken and waffle community meal that was held later that afternoon.
The church provides free, hot meals for the community in the church fellowship hall
on the fourth Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. Recent offerings have included hot dogs and sauerkraut, and upcoming selections will feature lasagna and ham and green beans. “We always have traditional picnic fare in June,” reported Rice, who noted that hamburgers and hot dogs will be served. According to Eshleman, two meals that always offer the same menu are the November Thanksgiving feast and the Christmas meal. Both those meals are also offered on the second Thursday of the month rather than the fourth.

recent picture book is titled “Open Your Eyes (Discover the Cecropia Moth).”
She recently shared information about that book with students at West Fallowfield Christian School (WFCS) in Atglen. In addition to read ing from her book, she brought along her butterfly and moth collection with many specimens that are more than 60 years old. “My main aim in writing those kinds of books is to get kids interested in what is going on in their backyard and in insects and birds,” she said, adding that she engaged the children in a creative writing contest with her books to be given as prizes.

Betsy Stefferud, administrative assistant for the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance. “They will be jumping post and rail fences and log jumps and jumping stone walls. Most of them are post and rail (obstacles), which are three and four feet tall.”
The Junior Field Master Chase will kick off the day at noon followed by the Small Pony Race, the Medium Pony Race, the Large Pony Race and the Leadline Pony Race. The featured jump races will begin at 1:45 p.m. with the Ladies Race followed by the Amateur Apprentice Race, the Novice Timber Race and the Open Race. The day of racing will conclude with the Side Saddle Race.
Visitors will be stationed along the course to watch the horses and the riders. “We are not in an enclosed area; it’s all out in the fields,” said Stefferud. “The steeplechase race is over a 3 and 3-anda-half-mile course over fields
from pg 1
and (around) twists and turns. It (covers) nearly all of the 318 acres of our property.”
There are no tickets needed for entry; rather, attendees pay set fees to park. “You can purchase general admission or preferred parking near the finish line per carload,” noted Stefferud, adding that parking can be reserved in advance or on the day of the event.
Stefferud said that the event generally attracts between 500 to 1,000 spectators, depending on the weather, many of whom tailgate in the parking areas, bringing food and beverage. Refreshments may be purchased on-site from Saloon 151.
Also featured during the day will be an antique car display and a parade of fox hounds by the Radnor Hunt Foxhunters. “They will do the parade right after the bouncy pony races, which is one of the kids’ activities,” said Stefferud. “We have bouncy
ponies and kids come up and have a little race. It’s something fun for the younger kids to do.”
Attendees will also have an opportunity to win prizes, including artwork, restaurant gift certificates, Devon Horse Show box seats, Hall of Fame Phillies tickets with parking and golf for four at Honeybrook Golf Club.
Proceeds from the event, presented by Radnor Hunt Foxhunters and the Hounds Foundation, will benefit the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance’s environment education and watershed conservation programs.
The H. E. Myrick Conservation Center is located in Pocopson Township along Route 842, 6
miles west of West Chester and 3 miles east of Unionville. For more information and to purchase parking passes, call 610-793-1090 or visit www.brandywineredclay .org. More information is also available at www.facebook.com/ BrandywineHillsPointtoPoint.

begin working at 1:30 p.m. on the day the meal will be served. Usually only four or five workers are needed, but waffles require more helpers, and eight had gathered to prepare the March meal. At 5 p.m., more than 20 volunteers generally arrive to help serve. Food donations for the meal often come from the Weis grocery store in Gap, The Factory Market, and church members.
Eshleman recalled preparing the first meal about 20 years ago with Marie Brackbill. “We were scared to

At one time, about 100 area residents attended monthly, then COVID-19 restrictions hit in 2020, and the church stopped serving meals. They resumed the practice in June of 2023, and now prepare for 100 and serve from 50 to 85. “We hope to work our way back (to more attendees),” shared Rice.
Eshleman said that around Thanksgiving of 2023, numbers
