Aside from farming, raising cattle etc.. Uncle Dick was a Licensed Distiller. I have in my possession the Regulations concerning the Distillation of Brandy made exclusively from apples, peaches, grapes, pears, pineapples, oranges, apricots, berries or prunes (Series 7, No. 7, Revised Feb. 19, 1895-Supplement No. 1) of the United States Internal Revenue; June 22, 1896: Washington: Government Printing Office, 1896.
On Sept. 13, 1897 Sam L. Monroe, Deputy Collector of the 6th District of Virginia of the Division of Distilled Spirits had visited Dick’s operation and left a certificate of service and delivery.
There is another document from the Collector’s Office in Lynchburg dated Sept. 25, 1897 where Dick’s Distiller No. was issued, that is Distiller No. 3933. On the lighter side, is a receipt or note to Uncle Dick, as follows:
Mr. Richard Dwyer:
You will please lend me one half gallon of good Brandy by Mr. Manuel and charge to me.
Yours respectfully,
Amon H. Avlcr
Feb. 19. 1898
Then along comes Shenandoah National Park. Plans were being made by the'1920’s, surveying in the late 20’s and finally the Condemnation Act was passed, the people evicted and the park established. Dick Dwyer like so many others I’m sure, hated giving up his place of birth which he had known all his life.
