Carol Maslowsky has lived most of the history of her family’s century-old farm in Westerlo. Her late father, Clayton Barber, remembered moving from his home on West Woodstock Road to the farm on Woodstock Road on his third birthday, Dec. 6, 1920 — in a hay wagon pulled by a horse. Years later, his wife — a city girl from Schenectady who had studied French — would sit on the porch of the mid-19th Century farmhouse there and, looking out at a vista that reached to the Catskills and Vermont, would give the farm its name: Belle View.
