More Homes

--Posted to the Roberts Illinois History Group Facebook Page by Tim Theesfeld.  April 2020.

The next photo includes at least three houses.  These homes also are on the east side of North Main Street, just a little further to the north end of the street.

The first house in the above photo and below, I remember as Jerry and Viola Shambrook's home.  Jerry Shambrook notes that he bought the home from Earl Day in 1959.

The next home would be the Pettit/Riddle/Estep home (below.)

 

The third home in the photo is what I remember as the home of Ida Tornowski (below.)

Left to Right:  Mrs. Pettit, Della Wakelin, Sadie Wakelin, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Swanick, Amelia Waldschmidt, Lena Wakelin, Genevieve Wakelin.

From James Lossing: " In this picture, with the ladies sitting on the ground, can anyone tell me about Mrs. Swanick, Mrs. Roberts, and Mrs. Pettit? Della, Sadie, and Genevieve are my grandmother and two of her sisters. Lena and Amelia are Waldschmidt sisters. I don't know if that picture was taken in Roberts or California."
