St. Lawrence Republican 1891 Jas. Moore, of Lisbon has purchased Horace Boothroyd's farm of 50 acres near Flackville, known as the John Dings farm at 50 dollars per acre
James Moore owned the Inn at Northrup's Corners around 1906, before selling it to J. B. Armstrong: NORTHRUP'S TAVERN TO BE RAZED. Famous Landmark on Canton-Ogdens burg Road Doomed. A recent issue of the Ogdensburg Advance has the following of interest to people of this section: "Northrup's tavern, one of the oldest landmarks in this part of St. Law. Co., will be razed before long, it was announced here recently. The structure stands on the Canton road, three miles from Ogdensburg, and has been a familiar sight to travelers over the highway to the Co.seat for more than a century. J. B. Armstrong, the present owner of the property, is building a fine new home on the farm and as soon as it is ready for occupancy he will have the old tavern torn down. Mr. Armstrong is one of the leading Jersey cattle breeders in this state and maintains a large herd of thoroughbreds on the property which consists of over 160 acres of fine tillable ground. The old roadhouse stands on the west side of the highway at Northrup's Corners. It is a rambling wooden structure two and a half stories high and its weather beaten sides denote its ancient origin. The south end of the building contains living quarters and is the present home of Mr. Armstrong and his family. In the second story is a spacious dance hall, equipped with a spring floor. The building was strongly constructed and the massive timbers used in the frame work are in as good condition today as when they were hewn from the forest that covered that part of the countryside. The tavern was built in the early days of the last century by the late Capt. Lewis Henry Northrup, who conducted it until he died. After that one of his sons, also named Lewis Henry, made his home there for many years, but it ceased to be a public house after the elder Northrup passed away. Men now well past the three-score- and-ten mark recall having attended | dances at Northrup's tavern in their youthful days. The hall was considered the best in this section and it was long a popular place for holding social parties. The building is probably the only one in this part of the state that has a spring dance floor. Some old timers remember when whiskey was sold at the tavern for three cents a glass. In the days before the railroad, the boys of Ogdensburg would walk out to the tavern to meet the incoming wagon trains of traveling shows and circuses. Stage coaches stopped at the hotel to change horses and all teamsters passing to and from Ogdensburg halted on the journeys to partake of the hospitality for which the place was noted. Some years ago, the present owner of the farm, while digging a hole for a cesspool, unearthed the skeleton of a man near the site of the old tavern. The identity of the man and the circumstances surrounding his death have remained a mystery to this day. All of the members of the Northrup family were buried in a small cemetery located some distance from tavern and the presence of the skeleton ton at the place where it was found could not be explained by the oldest residents of the locality. Following the death of Lewis Henry Northrup, 2nd, the farm was sold to James Moore, who later disposed of it to the present owner
