Abram Van Kleeck in his smithy in the 1940s. From an article in the Kingston Daily Freeman. "On July 12, The Freeman ran a picture of a "Village Smithy" with a cut line as the only blacksmith shop in Kingston. Since then our attention has been drawn to the fact that Abram Van Kleeck is still carrying on a very active shop at 14 Apple street. Blacksmith Van Kleeck has been at the present location for the past 22 years, where he specializes in body work, shoeing and springs. With the limited supply of replacement parts due to the war, many of the local trucking firms have found his services extremely useful."
