Previous Addresses

I see no evidence of Arvid and Anna's Family in Middletown before 1928 (I have not found a 1927 Directory). We know that Elliott was born in Menifee County, KY, in 1925, so this makes sense (and his birth certificate says they lived in Sudith, but no City Directory exists for Menifee). Interestingly we see they live in 3 different addresses on Fleming street (2 before Jerry is born), as well as Ellwood and Elmsere in Middletown. Anna moves to Elmsmere with Arvid by 1944 and stays there until her death in 1964. Jerry shows up as working at Reedy's by 1958 (19 years old, and Larry has been there sine 1953), but has moved to the Marsh Foodliner by 1960, the last year a City Directory is available online.

6090 Serena Way
Middletown, OH 45044
Bert and Jerry moved here after Brett was hit by a car - Bert insisted Granada neighborhood wasn't safe. 6090 Serena way was our Bert's dream home, and she and Jerry installed the pool and considered putting in a lighted tennis court (that was the big family activity for the family!

510 Grenada Ave
Middletown, OH 45044
Bert and Jerry lived here while the kids were in elementary school. There were some rough kids around that would bully the boys, and eventually Brett was struck by a car.

843 Foster St
Franklin, OH 45005
Bert and Jerry lived her for a couple of years, but moved shortly after Brett was born for more room.

701 Elsmere St
Middletown, OH 45042
One of Anna and Arvid's homes. The Middletown City Directory for '43 is missing, but by 1944 it puts them at Elsmere, where they stay until Anna's death in 1964.

Farm... address in doubt

Camden/Gratis, OH 45042
One of Anna and Arvid's homes, Fay says that about the time of the war (World War II, so 1939-1941, she wasn't sure exactly, but Middletown City Directory says they were here in 1942) the family moved to a farm outside of Middletown in Gratis for about 2.5 years. She says it was about 7 acres of farmland, but wasn't enough to make s living off so Arvid still worked "in town". She also said that Elliott had just graduated, so that would make it about 1941 or '42. The 1940 Middletown City Directory puts them at Fleming, but by '42 they're here.

1914 Fleming Road
Middletown, Oh, 45044
Anna and Arvid's original homestead in Middletown. They moved here shortly after Elliott was born and lived here for about 2 years before moving to Camden/Gratis. From talking to Fay, she says there were only 2 bedrooms and 7 kids. It was a "shotgun" style house, with living room then the dining room right in front of the front door, with bedrooms off to the right, and the kitchen was built into what had been a back porch. The 1940 Middletown City Directory puts them at Fleming, 1941 is unvailable.
