gate to Corbin farm

Toby and Tony, Franklin's horse team, were half brothers.  Once or twice a year they would become homesick, tear down a fence, and return to the Corbin farm where they were raised.  They could be found somewhere near the top of Gum Spring Hollow or along Landelius Road or this gate on Bethlehem Road.  They did not like to be led, but one could be ridden home to the Franklin farm and the other would follow.
