Historic Bramwell Pioneers

The top photograph shows George Freeman's home in St. Petersburg, PA.

Just as Charles Wesley Freeman built the well known Historic Freeman House in Bramwell, his brother George Freeman built a fine home for his family in St. Petersburg, PA and it is pictured above. Bob Gallagher's grandmother told him that the St. Petersburg Freeman home was the first house in town to have electricity and that it even had a bowling alley in the basement!

Charles Wesley Freeman's Historic Freeman House in the town of Bramwell, WV was known to be the largest house in Bramwell in 1909. The house has been remodeled many times over the years. It remains as a residence in the town of Bramwell.

The second photo is of the young twins, Roy and Ray Freeman, who Bob thinks may be George Freeman's sons and is communicating with Freeman's grandson to verify.
