Northern Star Silk Factory

The Northern Star Silk Works Factory was located at the western end of Hancock, New York, near the southern end of Sands Creek Road, aka Delaware County Road 67, which ran between Hancock and its neighbor to the north, Cannonsville. The factory was owned in the 1930's by a Mr. Vanderbilt. My grandparents Manville Sherman and Bessie Ann Dutcher and my aunt Ruth Esther Sherman all worked there, my grandparents for a number of years. JAS.
