Our neighbors occupy the historic, 1860 Job Moses house. You can do a search on Job Moses, his discovery of oil and his patent medicine business (there is a Job Moses bottle). I'm not sure if he had any other bottles. We had always wanted to ask for permission to dig the privy. I do not know the family, but Joe is familiar with them. Unfortunately, we were slightly worried about some unscrupulous neighbors finding out about "bottles" read bottle$$, as can happen.
A few weeks ago, there was a house fire there. The mother, her son and a friend who pulled her out were injured. The family dog died. The mother died a few days ago. I prayed for her when I found out, sending positive energy their way. I am still doing so. There are rumors about how the fire started, but officially it is still under investigation.
This has been extremely sad and I hope their family heals and can find some comfort and peace at this time.
I just thought I'd post this, not to depress anyone, but because it is such a historic home related to patent medicines, and it's something that happened this week.
