While we lived on Cimmeron Street, California, Carl, Nellie, their two little girls and our Blair went back to Yellow Creek, Pa., to a farm where they farmed. They came back to California later. While Harry and Kathryn lived on the farm in Pa., their son Ronald was born. They later came back to California. While George worked in PRRRR shops he got hurt but never got a settlement for it. George Jr. came home on leave before being sent on ship to Japan. Well we stayed in Woodbury for about a year then back to California. We had sale of our household goods, came back. Before we left to go to Pa., Mrs. Hall, the lady we rented from told us if we ever wanted to come back to let her know and she would find us a house to live in. Well, we wrote to her and she said she walked up the street where a house was for sale. There was other people there looking at it, but she said she looked around, gave the agent the down payment and it was hers. She went home and wrote to us she had a house for us to move into partially furnished, so back we came. When we got there it was just about half a block from where we lived before. Well the neighbor kids seen us coming and our kids had set so long they were ready for fun and they just had a time till the neighbor lady, Mrs. Snow, came out and made an awful fuss. She thought they were all our kids. When I told her how far we had come and that they knew these other children, well that helped and she became a good neighbor then.

Well, we got what furniture we needed and George went right back to the SPRR shops. We had brought Mary and Sammy along and we had four home yet. While we lived there Bob came home from the Army and he and Mary bought a car, took their boy and went back to Woodbury. Before Mary left, George and I was going to Washington state on the train. Well we got to Portland, Oregon and I couldn’t walk. We got off the train and stayed overnight and came home. I had to go to bed with a blood clot in my leg. That got better. Then while we lived there the War ended and again George was told he would have to rest awhile. So again we thought it would be better to go back home awhile.
