Bridget Graham Arkenberg: My Dad is Tom Graham. He grew up in this house [1017 Gideon Court]. Stanley was his Uncle, his mother’s brother. They immigrated here from Lithuania in 1909. We were told the story of Uncle Stanley many times while growing up. We visited that house every Sunday after church to check in on Grandma until she passed away in 1975. The house was sold in the late 1980’s when our Uncle Chuck Graham moved to Indiana. The house is still there.
