I've referenced Elna Pherson Howard a few times. So who is she? Elna was the younger daughter of Charles "Tink" Pherson, Amherst's last blacksmith. Tink and his wife Charlotte came from Sweden and purchased this property in 1892. Elna was born here in 1902 and inherited the property with her husband, Allen Howard, in 1951. Elna, a lifelong Amherst resident died in 1995 and is buried with her family at the cemetery off Foundry Street. Much of the history that I've obtained concerning 92 BPR, was researched by Elna and given to me by a previous owner. All of this info and much more is saved in a three ring binder.
