The Pioneer Home
by Anonymous
Since 1858 the property has had a number of owners, including an Elizabeth Morris, who bought it in 1856 and lived there for 30 years. Whether she was related to the builder of the house is not known. In 1896 the property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh E. Brunk, who lived in the house until 1907.
Most houses built in the early 1800’s were made of logs and chinked with plaster made of lime and sand. This house was built of a good quality white limestone, the reason probably being that stone was easier to obtain than logs in this particular location, because a stone quarry was located scarcely a quarter-mile away. The old quarry, near Sheehan Road, long since has been abandoned.
