I never got to know Fred Crooks. But I didn’t miss him by too long.
The property, Fred n Mrs Pattersons place? Above Ferry Point?
Was subsequently lived on by 3 retired schoolteachers.
Joan Richardson, Vivian Witt and Marie…… Never knew her last name.
These were neighbors and close friends of mine. I cared for all of them, very much. My friends.
I worked on the house, and kept them in stovewood. I “cleaned the spring” to get them perfect spring water every year.
They fed me and cared for me too.
I have a few antique bottles and jars found on the property. From well before Fred Crooks was even born. Back to the early residents.
I have a couple of Fred’s old tools and a few bottles from the time of Dear Madam. I know where the “family” dump is. I could go get more. heh
Its a pretty nice location, the old homestead. I can’t drive past without looking up the hill and remembering.
