[003] Misc Stories - |
At the time we lived in this house it had a brown shingle-like siding, much like roofing, that was popular at the time. As I recall there was a detached garage or a building of some sort behind the house. There was some acreage maybe around 5-10 acres. |
This is the first house I remember but not well. I remember there was a small store at the end of Centennial where I would get a bottle of Grapette soda pop. I also remember there being a big stone house on the north side of the road near our house. Mostly my memories are from pictures. |
Interview with Living ID0005 - 22 Sept
2005 Lived here about a year. Walter put in a bathroom, a septic tank and a well. Put the water pump under the sink in the house. It consisted of the pump with a separate motor connected with a belt. Phil, ID0007 got his little finger caught in the belt and he lost a portion of the end of that finger. Walter ran the well pipe from the well into the house to the pump. He had dug down to the well that was already there and Milton, ID0043 came out and cut the pipe off and Dad put a cap on it and ran the pipe to the house. We lived in this house a little over a year. The county was talking about running a sewer line that would cost everyone along the road $1500. That was one reason for the move. This property had a barn. Walter also did auto repair in the barn. There was 5 acres and we had a few cows. (Source: Interview with Walter C. Robbins, Sr., ID0005 - 22 Sept 2005 Doc0551.pdf) |
Autobiography of Norma Haas Robbins, Mother of Phil "Phil was just about 2 yrs. old & was gone one day - I looked & looked - got real panicky. I found him across the road at a neighbor's house - he wanted to play with their little boy. At the time they were using our road as a highway" - Doc406.pdf |
