Nice detective work, Peter (pun intended?)
Below is a scan from a 1958 Orange County Highway map I have; the one constant over the years is the Webb Cemetery. Roads have been realigned several times in that area, even since this map. And the only reference I found on the Pine Island Branch Val Maps was 'Crossing Closed', with no date, at about that location. (Update- found the crossing closing date on another sheet; October 1940.)
There were a few Holberts in the Chester- Sugar Loaf area, but I don't think there any left. A few are listed in the Walden area in the current phone book- might be related.
