Railroad through Howard?

The house used to be where Mullenberg's lived.  They operated a grocery store at one time.  The Mullenberg grocery store building later became Parsons Feed Supply, but is today a part of the museum (between Washington and Illinois Streets).

Mullenberg's ?? I  can't remeber where that is.

Who are your neighbors Marine Mom?

I don't know many of the streets here either..    ( lived here all my life and never payed any attention to the street names.)
so I usually just know who is where and who used to live in what and who lives beside them etc etc etc...

[MarineMom]

Hatfield's were north of us, There are some Cookson's behind us, Parsons are across the street (catty corner) and a big dumpy empty house is our closest neighbor to the south

[Teresa]

ok. I know now where you are.
The "Cookson'" behind you is Rob and Christina. They live in the house that my father in law.. Gene Cookson built with his 2 hands. It took  him almost 10 years but he finished it.

I still miss that old man....
