This is Grandma Herbruck's house I believe. If it is next to Herbruck's Cheese Counter, it is her house for sure. I called her Grandma Herbruck but she was actually my Aunt Marilyn "JO" (Flowers) Herbruck mother-in-law. Harry "Jr" Herbruck was Grandma Herbruck's son, my uncle by marriage. Ester (Herbruck) Bailey was also Grandma Herbruck's daughter and later Ester and her husband helped run the family business - Herbruck's Cheese Counter. My uncle Harry and Aunt Marilyn Herbruck went on to expand in Grand Rapids area with their family farm, Herbruck's Poultry Farm. Maybe some remember seeing "Herbie" the Egg trucks. They are a major leader in egg production in the US and so much more.

I have vivid memories of Grandma Herbruck, her beautiful hair, her wonderful smile and of course the best store to visit and sample the best cheeses/meats and more. I wish it was still in operation as the gifts, toys, treats were amazing as well.

This house would be just south, on Old Business Hwy 27, of the VFW Hall in St Johns, Michigan. Cross roads would be Walker Rd/US-27 and Kinley Rd/US-27.

This wan my grandparents home which they completed about 1967 just before my grandfather, Harry passed away from a car accident. It’s directly north of the cheese counter store, which was the egg production plant. Originally my brothers and I all worked at the cheese counter and egg facility while we were in high school in the 60s and 70s my brother Doug and I help my grandfather poor all the concrete drive

Hi Darrell! Thank you for sharing your memories of your grandparents' home in Clinton County. It sounds like a special place with lots of history.
