Day Eighteen

Today is Grandma Powell's birthday.


This was taken at Grandma's house on North Springfield about 1958-59.  I remember at least 3 really large trees in Grandma'a yard.  I think there was one to the right of us here in the front yard and one to the left back about the middle of the house.  In the 1910 photo Betty posted there are only small trees on the north side of the house.  The huge trees that were in Grandma's yard had not even been planted yet in 1910.

Betty says Grandma bought the house from a Brasswell.  I do not remember.  I looked at the 1910 Green Forest census and there are only 11 households listed on North Springfield in Green Forest.  Someone on this list lived in Grandma's house in 1910. Anyone recognize this first name?

Green Forest town, April 15 1910, North Ward

Just dawned on me that it was call Springfield because it was the road taken to Springfield, Mo?
