Family History

Street numbers have changed over the years, but I believe this may have been the home of T.L. Ketchings (1851-1933) and his wife Florri (1869-1953), 18 years T.L’s junior, during the 1920s and ’30s. T.L. was a salesman of general merchandise and may hav also owned a farm. They lived in this home with their daughters Olethia and Florrie, and sons Tom, Dan and Newdaygate (quite the unique name).
