A little research...

So we are expected to close on the house in march or so, and since I am
VERY excited about this I did a little research on this house.
I found the census from 1900 listing our new address and its occupants. NEATO!
George S. & Hattie Cummings lived there in 1900, they had 7 children. He was from New Hampshire, And she was an immigrant  from england. The census also lists his occupation, their children,(living or dead) If they had schooling, if they could read or write and other neat info. I wish I could find a picture of one of the family members! This is something I will continue to work on. Below is a copy of the original census, the family and house is under number 39. (click to enlarge)

Here is the snippett pertaining to the house.
 I Also found this listing in a google book, Charles C. Cummings, as his emergency contact, listed Hattie as his mother, and her address.




  Well thats all for now! I will be sure to  add more if I find it!
