A P and Charlotta
The Retirement House - A P had it moved down the road from their home - later Alvin and Ada lived here when they retired from farming. This is where Grandpa Alvin died and where Grandma Ada lived when we grandchildren visited. The trees were much larger by then. I (Laura) will never forget things like family Christmas Eves when we kids would - one by one - get on a chair and say our Christmas piece, playing Farmer in The Dell upstairs with cousins and of course, the swing. The house is gone now.
