This was my grandparents farm; Russell and Mary Warner on Butternut Rd. near the intersection of Tee Rd. .
Russell and Mary Warner passed in1966-67; then my parents Robert and Loretta(Warner) Stanley owned it in 1972: we lived there 1972-73.

this was my grandparents farm. the home where my father was raised. i have many great memories as a child. marigolds in cement planters on the steps going into the screened porch where my cousin (Bridget Stanley)and i played the board game "The Dating Game." the wooden banister that we slid down from the top floor. a "secret step" that could be pulled up and was used to stash precious belongings. an old out building that,long ago, held metal milk cans in a deep water bath to keep cool until pick up. the old silo base, always filled with rain water, used to creep me out as i clung on to the sides to "look" into it anyway. many great, warm, memories.

The home of Donald R. Warner from birth to marriage, owned by his parents, Russell and Mary Gugerty Warner until their deaths. Don and his family milked cows in the old barn and in earlier times,there were horses in part of the barn as well as a huge hayloft and hayfloor where Don used to love to lay in the hay and listen to the horses munch their feed. They raised hogs in the hoghouse, and stored many bushels of outs in the oatbin. A few of the buildings were gone by 1972,such as a small building where longtime hired hand, "Buzz' Lambert lived, a bullpen, and a small machine shed. Chickens were raised in a henhouse behind the farmhouse in the old orchard, and there was a large garden behind the house.In earlier days, there was a much larger front porch that stretched across the front of the house. The large screened in back porch was laundry central when Mary Warner washed with a machine that was powered by an engine that had an exhaust! The yard, in those days, had lilacs peonies and yellow rose bushes, as well as a huge blue spruce. Today, the house is the only original building left. but the wonderful memories remain.
