Back in the late 30s and 40s, Shirley remembers helping her grandma Mary Sheridan after her grandpa passed on. She would herd her milk cow and a couple of young calves to where the grass was near Route 26 just south of Maytown Road. She lived right here also in a one-room shack for many years. People by the name of Thompson live there now in a ranch-style home.
