This house has seen a lot of families...

Searching around for titles that go back further than the mid 1900's is tough--but here is what we know so far about the families that have enjoyed this house:

  • 1790 (approximately)--JAMES LOWELL built house
  • We are still working on who had it next...
  • Early 1900's?--Henry A. Miles buys our property and also land across the street
  • Henry A. Miles owned it and also ran the general store across the street
    This is the safe that sits in the basement.  It was used to hold earnings from the general store.
  • 1940--Henry A. Miles sold the house and store to Albert B. Locke
  • 1967--Albert & Lilla Locke put the house in both of their names
  • 1968--Albert B. Locke died, leaving the house in Lilla's name
  • 1975--Lilla Locke sells/gives the property to Fred and Ada Locke
  • Fred Lock, WWII
    Albert and Lilla
  • ???Heidi and Justin Cook bought the house from their children--(the Locke estate) We'll see!
    I'm sure it was no accident that the Locke plot looks right at the house (see it in the
    Fred and Ada, we believe, were the last people to live there.
