263 Main Street
Johnson Family Home
March 9, 1989
The house was contracted to be built by Robert Finley, a successful farmer in 1906 for his mother Lydia. She never lived there and was occupied by Finley's farm hands until my grandparents purchased it in the 19'teens. My dad came of age in that house as did I. We moved from the "Susie Judd" home farther north on Main St. in 1955 when I turned eight. Many very fond childhood memories last from both homes.
