This was my grandfather's home where he grew up with his 11 siblings. My grandmother, uncle, and father went there to live with his family while poppy went to fight in World War II. This photo was taken in the early 1990's. It has long since been gone now with only memories that linger on. My favorite story of this house is while my grandmother was up in the attic she put on a Santa Claus mask and pecked on the window while my uncle and dad were at the woodpile. They looked up and seen Santa looking at them and shaking his finger at them. My grandmother ran downstairs when she seen them running to the house. She was able to make it to the kitchen to wash dishes when they came bursting through the door telling her excitedly that Santa was up in the attic. They went up to look for him, but there wasn't a trace of evidence that St. Nick had ever been there.
