Possibly the Jimmy sanders residence in rt 2 dyer Brook?

I think so. I lived there with my parents.They moved out,I think, in 1966 or'67.Bill fox may have owned it.Jimmy & Carleen moved in after we left.Jimmy worked for Bill for a long time.
In the bushes at the top,there was a dump,with several old cars parked around it.The field road on the right went down back,curved around, and came out right beside the house my parents bought.
I think the barn was gone by the time we were there, but i had a sandpile in front of the foundation;I remember mom killing a snake with a shovel in the sandpile one day.
The hill the house is on was called "Jim White" hill when I was a kid.

Craig Mclaughlin.Chip in 65 my father,Olin sold your father Sonny the house you grew up in and we bought the Townsend Farm. I can barely remember Jimmey bulldozing the barn down behind where it stood. I now own the land behind and between the two and built a home there. I found the old hay lift that was in the barn behind Carlenes house.
