The boy closes the wooden screen door gently, the sound of the spring and the smell of the air bring the fact home, he really is in Pennsylvania again. Just outside the back door he stands on the cement walk and looks across the yards and up the hill. The lawn holds a suspended layer of water droplets of transluscent white, heavy dew. He raises his eyes and looks at the gold-brown field up behind the hotel and below the big house where the Shuma's live. The field is soaking wet and not yet in the sun. The air is thick with morning, the hotel an iron red of asphalt shingle siding and white painted frames of wood trim the windows.

Small Grocery in Byrnesville

About a hundred years later Barnesboro and Spangler become Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania. Although this small part of Northern Cambria is still known to a lot of local people as Byrnesville I've yet to find records of the village ever being incorporated.
