This is the house where Grandma lived, where
... Mom and Pop eloped from
.... Uncle Joe got his thumb cut off
.... Noah for his arm broke
Many people lived in this house at canning factory time. They came in from Kentucky to work during canning season.
This is the fron yard where Gladys died after my mother and Ma'am (Grandma) walking the yard with her on a hot July night and she died but grandma didn't tell anyone. She just said Mary will you take the baby for a while and the she took off across the field to the neighbors house to use the phone.
This is the house where the next morning I looked under every bed and in every closet trying to find Gladys and finally Pop said come here Rose I want to tell you something and then I knew before he told me.
This is the house where I milked the cow for Ted and Virgie when they got up at 4 a.m. to go to Wendel Wilkie's speech in Elwood.
This is also where we had square dances and quilting bees.
So this is the house. Now it has a bath room upstairs and downstairs and a lot of modern conveniences that it did not have back then
