Current Owner Melvin Johnson

OMG!!!!, i forgot all about the small shed on the end of the Garage!!!, Lived here at one time,many many moons ago..When Melvin and Arlean Johson use to own it.

Haystack Road in Mapleton.

I believe that the old man Goree or Gory that owned the place in the way early 60s built that to sell produce from. He ran that place as a truck garden or produce farm. There were a few of us who worked for him that would go to Loring then Limestone AFB and sell vegetables in the housing areas.

Castle Hill not Mapleton :-)

I used to sell door to door in PI. He would make Bologna sandwiches for our lunch. Work all day for a buck and a sandwich.

my dad bought this from mr . corey in 1964, and moved here in 1965 after he retired from the air force. along with the house he got 135 acres of land. the fields got over grown with red alders. when they did the work on the road in 2009 i got 26000 yards of fill and landscaping they left equiptment here at night and on weekends. after the work was done i got a tractor and bush hog and cleaned up the other 3 fields. i got dads house and moved here after my home in mapleton was burned down.
