About Me

My photo
I am interested in learning more about family history and how my family fits into the history of the nation. This starts out with answers to questions from my daughter-in-law, Keri Hills. The first question is answered in the oldest post.

Regarding where my family lived when I was born


Corrections from my mom- we did live in the house up behind Barney's junction when I was a baby- but that was the 3rd place we lived after I was born.

They brought  me home to one of Grandma Gilmore's cabins. She had a boarding house and cabins for rent in Kettle Falls. We lived in  Cabin One. note: that's what Grandma always called it "Cabin One".  It had been a barn and 1/2 of it was converted into rental space.  Mama said that daddy was logging and the rent was cheap.

Then we moved into a basement apartment that was in an old house. It was southwest of town on the east side of the intersection where the road to Meyers Falls Dam and the road Old Kettle Falls cross. 


The photo of the three of us (below) was taken there. I was about 6 months old in that photo. Mama's dress is white and lavender. I'm in a pink dress. Daddy is wearing a soft blue shirt. It looks so nice in the picture because as mama says "I ironed it".
