Today's old photo, taken in 1939, pictures a "honeydipper," cleaning out an outhouse at 67 Jefferson St., Clymer. Today's old photo comes from the private

collection of John Busovicki of Clymer.

Lee Street in Clymer was notorious in the early part of the 1900s for flooding, as evidenced in today's old photograph that was taken in 1923. After the great flood of 1977, these houses were demolished, and a park now occupies the area. Today's old photo comes from the private collection of John Busovicki of Clymer.
