Yard: garden

Yard was planted with food: corn potatoes, cabbage corn beets tomatoes beans lettuce onions cucumbers parsley, all the way from the road to where the shade are now, + extending to the Back (?) Road.

Huckle berry bushes + peach trees were in yard.

The yard was fenced by 3 or 4 boards laid horizontally, similiar to present fence but with more boards.

Swing in yard was( word scribbled out) put up in late 30's or 40's. It was a gift to Mary, daughter who was doing domestic hours work in Freeland. Husband put up swing on stout logs cut from the woods.

She thinks the grape arbor was there before the swing + was put there for shade.

Sidewalk was made of boards, ( boardwalks). Ditch on N side of yard near house was there always + was there to drain off rain water from neighbor's higher yard + porch into the street.

Anne Timko 8/10/72

Outside cellar

Anne Timko believes that Johanna [Pan???????] father built it. The structure was there when she came to live in her present house in 1915. She always has used it as a storage cellar - because the house has no cellar.

Her present kitchen was built by her husband in 1950. Before that time, there was a small shed between between the old kitchen + summer kitchen.

The closet (off the shandy) was built in the 1930's for use as storage space.
