This is Ivan and Alma Cyr's house in Upper Frenchville.

THIS WAS MY HOME WHERE I GREW UP IN 76 YEARS AGO. IT CERTAINLY DON'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THAT TODAY. ACROSS THE STREET MY SISTER STILL LIVES THERE. I LIVE IN CT. ALONG ALSO W/ TWO SIBLINGS. ONE IN SOUTHINGTON AND THE IN BRISTOL.

MY SISTER WAS THE LAST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AFTER MY PARENTS PASSED ON.

Yup, this is where I spent the better part of my life and I'm still in the same town. Some of the best days of my life were spent here, spent with my lifelong best friends - my brothers and sisters. God those were good times.

This is my husband. Ivan home that he grew up .for him a lot of memoriys

I also grew up here, and spent most of my time working for my uncle on the farm across the street.

I spent my youth here every late summer and fall during the potato harvest. I learned to drive a tractor when I was 12 in 1962. My mother was Alma Cyr's youngest sister. We took the Bangor & Aroostock RR from Portland to Madawaska every year. In the fifties it was the fastest way to get up there.......8-10 hours.
