WHEN I FIRST KNEW TILE
place' my maternal grandfathe caretaker there and lived
in the old house, or part of it . .
At that time the property was
owned by W. W. Farrar ...The
house was old and badly in need
of repairs and only a very few
years later was closed and board-
ed up . It then became "the
haunted house," though I cannot
remember anyone ever seeing a
ghost walking around . . . We
kids used to go through the
avenue and around the house
looking for wild strawberries and
apples, or on a fishing trip to the
river . . I will confess there
were times when I was glad to
get past the hoarded up windows
in case a ghost might be lurking
behind them —particularly when
my brother, Fred, was there and
his tales did not tend to raise my
courageous spirits (what little I
did have) ... And the slightest
sound was sure evidence there
was a ghostly inhabitant . . .
AT THE TIME MY GRAND -
father lived in it, there was a
very nice garden, or what re-
mained of the beautiful gardens
of Major Murray's day . , . There
were many rose -bushes and oth-
er shrubbery Sloping down
the hill towards the river was a
fenced -in vegetable or "kitchen -
garden," with fruit trees ... Not
so many years ago there were
still traces of a rhubarb patch
and a few old pear and apple
trees . . .
