 This first two pics are of my childhood home...Old Acres Farm. Sketch of Grandpa and Grandma Porter's homestead, done by a young cousin here. Their house was situated among the trees shown in the top right-hand corner of the second photo. My Dad designed and built our house in 1939. It was very unique in the community. He also cut the lumber from the local trees to build it.
