Aunt Mary's Memoirs, Chapter Two: XVII

The property on Domino Lane was rented, the houses as dwellings. The pasture was blasted for rock and became a stone quarry; the city of Philadelphia paid for dumping trash on another section. Frank had moved the livestock and machinery to a farm in Lansdale. Ed and myself and our young family lived on the Byrne estate for a few years trying our hand at the chicken business. Moneywise, this was a failure, but our kiddies did benefit from plenty of fresh vegetables and lots of clean country air. This was the time of the Great Depression.
