The
history of the house: Ruth Mistark's widowed mother came to the
island looking to buy the Wilson house near the ferry dock. It was in
poor condition, and she decided she wasn't interested. As she had to wait
for the next boat to arrive, she asked Edgar (Bucky) Seymour, Jimmy's
father, where she could have her picnic lunch. She was shown this house
and fell in love with it. It is not clear who were the owners but Bucky
either brokered the deal or had purchased it to sell himself. Ruth Howes
bought the house. Ruth Mistark remembers coming the for her first visit
with her son Chuck when he was in a carrier, probably in 1953. Ruth Howes
sold the house in later years to her daughter, Kay Brooks (Ruth Mistark's
sister) for $1. She and her husband Wendell lived here for many years
until they sold it to the Saunders/Kramers. |
