The house closest to the SE corner was the Roberts house. Between that house and the corner was the Merrill house. It burned in the '47 fires. My great grandfather married a Roberts girl. My grandfather was born and raised there. His father is buried in the little cemetery across the street. He died in a sawdust avalanche at a sawmill near Alfred, when my grandfather was very young. I saw the cemetery for the first time back in Sept.
