My great, great uncle John Geiger built this house. Notice the barn wall; Caroline Mast, who lived across the road burned the barn down one night and didn't escape the fire. The neighbors found her. My grandpa always said that she was in his house across the road that night because I think it was the gas can that was missing from the entryway. It was a blessing she didn't burn down his house. She had mental issues. Her husband had recently died and maybe it was too much for her. She left behind two sons.
