       John built the stone house on Cowpath Road in Hatfield, using stone from the quarry on his property.  He built the barn, then the back of the house, then the right front half, and then the left front house, as shown in the shape of the cellar.  The two halves, now divided, were unequal, and the Grandparents lived on the larger side until Harry's family grew, then they switched.  The sills of the house are 18 inches wide.  He died of paralysis.
