Stories:
Story 1: Sara Thomas Dunsford lived here with her parents and her dog, Andy, while attending the Terrace Park School. The family moved to California where she finished high school in 1955. Then they returned to the Cincinnati area and lived on Beech Street in Mariemont until after Sara was married at St. Thomas Church in 1960. She graduated from Miami University in 1959 and then worked for Albert Graves of 401 Marietta at the Central Trust Bank in Cincinnati. Sara's father retired in 1960 and her parents moved to Carmel, California. There are pictures of their 625 Miami Avenue home in the TP Historical Society house notebooks. (Information from Sara Dunsford in 2010)Story 2: When Sarah Thomas Dunsford visited the Rushing family here we also learned the the river rock has been closed in by dry wall and brick. Betty Rushing commented, It would be fantastic to 'unveil' it someday.
