Epilogue: 19 June 2010 |
In response to this invitation, twenty-three of us gathered at Leola’s birthplace, beginning around two in the afternoon of her hundredth birthday.
We were particularly interested in what she knows of the historical contours of the place: it has grown and changed much over its century. Although we think of it as the Seely house, it actually became the Chamberlin house quite early in its career: our Grandpa and Grandma Seely sold it to Betty’s late husband’s grandparents in 1915, when the Seelys moved to the ranch in Rosette. |
The most clearly original part, these days, is the chimney of the main fireplace, in the living room, visible in this driveway shot.
Providentially, we and this occasion arrived just as a solar panel project required the removal of a number of the old bricks. Betty gave each of us a brick as a souvenir: the one in the inset now resides in Kaysville. |
