My Father was born in Midway, Ohio and was raised on a three hundred acre farm in Freeport, Ohio. I was raised down there too but we lived in Northfield, Ohio. Every weekend, and for my father's vacations we spent all our extra time there. We had 63 acres above the family homestead on what they called The Ridgeâ¦a road that ended by Piedmont Lake. I loved it. We had a family friend,a gentleman and his sister who lived on Easy Street. Carl and Ann Goring. My father was Michael Troyan.
