Homes of Lav & Bessie - after 1834
* CLARE - Mills Street in 1834 & 1835: This was a new home rented by the Gordons. When they first moved in, water had to be carted from the Presbyterian church up the hill, until the rains filled the tank. The tent in the back yard (Dorothy & Bessie peepoing out) would have been used when visiters came (pictured at top right).
* CLARE - Charles Street from 1835 to 1938: (Top left) Lav & Bessie are photoed in front of this house.
