This is the home I grew up in. The old house is long gone. The new house was built by my father and mother, Sterling Clark and his wife Doris. Seven children were raised here. Laurabelle Aldinger (fl.), AnnaRae Dumond (Corinth), Sterling Jr.(deceased)(Fl.) DorisAnn Lovley (Fl), Rachel Gonzales (Fl), David, (Tenn) and Bruce (fl). David and Bruce still lived at home when they moved into the new house When I was a teen-ager I helped my Dad add the "dustpan" windows on the front of the roof to give more space to the front bedroom upstairs. My parents sold the house in 1977 and retired to Fl. after my dad was disabled in an accident at the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad where he had worked for many years. The building in the back was moved there from down the road a piece and my Dad made a shed out of it. Over the years he made it a nice workshop for himself. The large bush at the end of the house is a bunch of lilac bushes >> long gone too. My brother Sterling and his wife Cleo(both deceased) were married on the front lawn one summer. When they bought the house there was an outhouse and another large shed connected to the end of the house as it stands here. Beyond that there was a very large separate barn with an addition on the side of it for animals. It would have sat just in front of the small shed pictured.So many memories come flooding back.

Anna - where is this house located?

Dick, it was on the Tate Rd. About a mile in from Rte 15.
