Caleb Isbester House
Posted September 9, 2017, by Tammy (Tammy_ware [at] yahoo [dot] com)

Such a beautiful house. Wish I had inherited it, I'd still be living there. RJ Dugger was my great grandfather. I used to be afraid to go upstairs. And I remember that there was a fireplace in every room. It's funny how small it seems to me now. I thought it was a huge castle. My great grandmother passed when I was 14 years old so I have lots of fond memories of playing in the yard and cutting snowball flowers to take home.
