Family History
The Queen Anne was built in 1903, but I was only able to trace its history back to 1920 when Harry E. Brown and his wife, Sarah, owned the home. Harry was a conductor for the railway, but he died in his 50s sometime between 1920 and 1930. According to the 1930 US census, the house was worth $6,500 and Sarah owned a radio set. She was still living alone in the home per the 1940 census (the last census ancestry.com offers), so I assume she lived there until her death.
