Ernest and Myrtle Sitzenstock's first child arrived on June 9 — not quite a year after their surprise marriage.
Ernest was employed at Ainsworth, loading hay and grain for Uncle William Raschka (I suppose that involved William's new warehouse). Ernest must have been doing pretty well: he was already having a bungalow built in the village for his little family. It was expected to be ready for occupancy by mid-July.
Lee Hunter, the barber of Ainsworth, was also building a bungalow, next door to Ernest's. (Where?? Are they still standing??)

I remember my great grandfathers house (Ernest) in Hobart Indiana. I don't know the address. But they lived there until their dean in the 1970s.
It was a bungalow.
The Hobart city directory from 1968 gives their address as 830 S. Lincoln St.
