When I was a kid it was the Osmun family. There was no deck then. The rooms were living room, dining room and kitchen. I don't remember a bathroom. When I was in kindergarten I was playing in the backyard when the Simington brothers came up and shot me with an arrow. I had never seen an adult run as fast as Mrs. Osmun did. The house to the right (south) was where a Latvian boy lived who couldn't speak English. He would stand between the wire fence and his garage and throw stones down at us Mrs. Osmun had venetian blinds!.
