Location of House from Church,
among fifteen homes or more, from here, spotted across the side
of the mountain.
Lilli was born in a coal company house,
after two older sisters. Evelyn and Nita
she was about two years old when she and the rest of the family
moved to Huntengton, where they rented a house while they had
a new house built on 10th Avnue on a beautiful brick street.
Lilli was delighted to see her birth place modernizing. Half
of this Mountain was cut away, to make room for a large shopping
center. We enjoyed staying in this lovely Holiday Express |

We also looked for her Aunt Lou and uncle Millard's house, which
was a twin to this brick house, but sadly it had been torn down.
Lilli and her two sisters, Evelyn and Nita, in child hood traveled
by train to visit in Logan most every summer,
over 50 years ago
