Margaret Maloney

Water hydrants were located between the office and Berger's house. Another
was located in the vacant lot across from the club and down from Medash's.
Water was piped into the homes on Main [?} Street from Surgent's up to M.
Maloney's house. This was because these houses were occupied by the bosses.
The Back Street homes were destroyed in the late 1940's. The house
Margaret Maloney now lives in (#126) burned to the ground in 1925. The Coxe's
put up a new house in its place of the same design.
All of the fences were a middle green color.
There was a school house beside where Bruno Lagonosky now lives,
toward the lower part of time. This is where Margaret's mother went to school.
It was dissembled before Margaret was born.

Her father was boss of the mule stable during the late '30's and '40's. He
began work at 4:00 AM and prepared the mules for the drivers (harness and
curry). He finished at 4:00 PM. When the mules were brought in, he would
unharness them, feed them, and water them. During the interval between the
mules coming and going, he had it easy. He just cleaned the barn.
During the period that John Maloney was the mule stable boss, there
were partitions between the mules to separate them.
He used to bring feed bags home from the stable or give them to the ladies.
These feed sacks held a hundred pounds of feed and were white in color with
designs on them. the sacks were used to make cloth goods, curtains, dish towels,
shirts, undergarments, ect. This was during the 1930's and 1940's.
