I am the person that owns this house today. It has been a three owner house. I knew the children of the family that built it several children have been born in that house. Looks different today and the large pine in the back is still there and towers over the house.

Kendall Bolster Home. Spent a lot of time picking potatoes, burning tops, shoveling potatoes and anything else associated with potato farming.

I have many fond memories of growing up in this house. My brother and I shared the bedroom above the kitchen. The only heat that we had in those cold winters was from a register that allowed the kitchen heat to rise. My father bought the house from his father in the early 50's.

My Dad worked for Kendall Bolster and we lived across the road in the small house.

I am Beth, the youngest of Kendall and Olive's children. I LOVED the farm, playing outside w/the kids in the neighborhood.! The Beans, Dave,John, Ted and Heidi, the Doaks, Kennedy's, Davenport's and anyone else that joined in. Loved our school bus driver, Neal Wortman. Living in a small town,knowing your neighbors, friends was such an amazing life. My older sister is deceased, due to an auto accident, she always loved to come "home". My brother Tim was 4 yrs older, picked on me, teased me, but as adults he is a good guy!!! My other brother Keith, is in Florida. "Digging" time was fun, hard work, cold, but lots of memories. Jim and Nonie Ugone worked for dad when we got a harvester, Mike Carter, Elvira Mc Adam, Freddie Seaborne and my memory is fading!!! Our house was white, long driveway, beautiful lawn and flowers. I loved our house and everyone was welcome!!!
