Domino Lane

Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Aunt Mary's Memoirs, Chapter 2: XIII

Uncle Joe married a girl from St. Johns' parish, Manayunk, and they also lived in Gladwyne. Uncle Jim had moved to Wise Mill Road, Roxborough, so the three young families visited one another often by horse and carriage. Grandmother Keating Byrne was getting up in years and lived with Aunt Mary and Uncle John Hughes in South Philadelphia, but came frequently to spend a few days at our house, so I was told. I was not yet three years old so have no remembrance of her. She died early in the year 1905. It was about this time my father bought a farm on Domino Lane and we moved to Roxborough. In July, 1905, brother Joe was born.
