This is my families home. My name is LeeAnne Johnson, My Aunt Annie from Illinois bought this home for me and my family when I was just a child. My brother T.J. Johnson and I grew up here and it was a wonderful little home. My father is Gerald Johnson of Johnson's Concrete now. He had Centerville Moving back in the early 70's thus the big moving truck there by the barn. As I look at the picture I expect to see all of us some how standing in the yard as we were always outside. My mother, Lynn Johnson had a very large garden in the back. The pond you see in the way back was not on our land as we were just on 2 acres there. But I walked my pet DUCK to that pond every day so she could swim! T. J. is no longer with us, he died in a car wreck in 1992. and my parents right after that got a divorce. All very sad. I love this picture though, brings back many happy memories for me. Thank you Brian Harrington for sharing this with me.

My family home, the happiest years of my life! I loved my family dearly, I wish I could live it all over. My husband and I worked together and he was the love of my life!! And will always be! The house was so cute inside too,we planted more trees. Teddy and LeeAnne had lots of pets. My heart will always be there!!
