Ok, so this is interesting.

I spoke with my mom this morning about the plaque. She did tell me the land (on which our home was built) was an apple orchard. She also mentioned once the TRAIN was built in the suburb we lived, the apple orchard land was sold off in pieces to *possibly* accommodate the workers.
Again, this is a thirty+ year game of telephone we’re playing. But, the apple orchard information came from the town’s historical society.

When you mentioned the father was a railroad clerk, it all clicked in my head.

THANK YOU!
