"This was first a two-car garage later converted into a three-roomed house. In 1927 it was moved by one man only with Mrs. Decker still inside. It was from where the De Honds house is now to a new foundation [#5 to #7]. Everett Swezey, the owner, sold it to Marcus and Mildred Haley. Marcus went to Florida and got a divorce. He lost his life saving a boy from being electrocuted. Then Mildred married Fred Strier in 1945. After they lost the house, Frank Simpson bought it. Later he sold it to John and Jean Deitz, who enlarged the house. (In 1924, the Deckers payed 8 dollars a month rent.)"
