Stories:

Story 1: When the Terwillegars lived here, daughter Alice bought a horse named Midnight and taught riding to some village children (Lynn Mileham). Her brother, Bob, built a stall in the single side of the garage. Alice used pasture across the street, part of the lot of the house directly across from the school (720 Elm). She may have ridden some with Kate Cornish (725 Wooster). Alice lives in Washington State (2002). Bob also had an aunt, Marie, who lived in Milford on the corner of Lewis and Main. Information from Bob Terwillegar who has also given us a plan from the Layman's League (St. Thomas) for a recreational area directly behind their house.
Story 2: According to Bob Terwillegar his mother bought the house from the McKees (probably only rented) who later lived on Amherst. Bob also says, When I was growing up here I played with Mary Green and Marty Radcliff. The Greens lived at 716 Floral). Mary's mother or grandmother was the woman pilot on the river - Green Line Steamers. We organized a Jr. Commandos after Little Orphan Annie in the comics. Marty was the oldest and captain.

Story 5: John Rockaway (720 Elm) says his family lived on the 3rd floor of this house when they moved back to Terrace Park after WWII.
