915 N. Main Street house, we moved here probably 1958. The house is different on the front, the windows and door are new. The warp around porch and columns are the same. This house, probably 1200 sq. ft. had 2 bedrooms, a screened in sleeping porch, hardwood floors, hugh living room and formal dining room. The kitchen was big, we had a basement, garage, play house and hugh yard. We walked to Franklin School. We were a block away from Cottey College. There was an alley in the back between Cherry Street and Austin Street where we played with the neighborhood kids. There were the Swagart's, Kelley's, Potter's and the Chew's. Martha, lived next door and Max would come down from Kansas City to visit. We could also walk uptown.
From the back of the Spring Street House was Spring Street Park. We would hike from the back of our house and play on Big Rock. Big Rock was a hugh rock between our house and Spring Street Park. Mom would make us pb&J sandwiches and we would hike to Big Rock and play all day!
Big Rock II.
Big Rock III.
Franklin School where all of us kids, except Thurman went from Spring Street and Cherry Street. I went to 1st and 2nd grade at Franklin. FranklinSchool is now a church, there are AC units in the windows, there was no AC when we went to school.
We visited the Court House.
Barbara and Marilyn in front of the Nevada Court House.
We stopped by the cemetery in memory of Dad who passed away one year to the day we visited. Marilyn brought Dad a white dove for the stone, Mom has a white angel.
We filled the vases with Easter flower's.
