I of course would be very interested in talking to anyone about specific corrections by e-mail and then perhaps by phone. You can contact me at househistorian (at) yahoo.ca.<br /><br />Since posting this story, I have received some photos of the Hoffard family who lived in the house that stood to the south of the church but then burned down or was demolished in the 1950s. I ill add some of these photos to the post. Thanks again to Roy and Chris Jorgenson for their kindness and generosity. lamiasabina.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535143523922444685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586814264042577004.post-74222134501729719742013-06-15T12:36:49.107-07:002013-06-15T12:36:49.107-07:00interesting that you pointed out how old her husba...interesting that you pointed out how old her husband was.
