Uncle Ed's Memoirs: II

Up at "the Ridge" was the Adams' mansion on one corner and Edmund's on the other; down farther were the Riggle boys and then the Fox place, which by this time (1929) was occupied by the Barrs, an ever-increasing family. The oldest was Bob Barr, a couple of years my junior, who became my teenage companion.
Then, finally there was our farm which extended down to Umbria Street. Our property stretched down to the railroad but we never tried to farm that section, since it was cut off by Umbria Street.
By this time, Tom, Jim and Mary have married and moved away and poor John in in Norristown State Hospital. That left Joe, Frank, Rose and Betty, besides Mom and myself, and of course, Mike, a de facto member of the family. Pop died in 1924 and now the farm in carried on by Frank and Mike, helped now and then by Joe and myself.
