Family History
From about 1950 until 1965, this was the home of Robert Soule (1927-1988) and his wife Lorna. Robert served in the US. Coast Guard and was a supervisor for Eaton Manufacturing Company. The couple lived in the home with sons, Ronald and Donald. Below is a 1949 newspaper ad for the home. The modern kitchen and tiled bath have long bit the dust apparently.
