Samuel's Place

This run down place incorporates the original home built by my great grandfather, Samuel, upon his arrival in the area. The first year he and his family lived in a peat hut while he built a two room house (the bottom floor in the rearward part of the present building). My grandfather was 2 years old on arrival.

A friend of the family later died from smoke inhalation from a kitchen fire after she saved three children on the upper floor. Her name was Nina, and the children lived into their nineties.
