Our next stop was Griggs St. Mary's grandfather bought this house before he married in 1916 He had emmigrtaed to the US with his brother from The Netherlands and in a couple of years had brought his father, step mother and 6 brothers and sisters to America. When he married he worked at the Kelvinator factory right at the foot of the street. He lived in this house until he went to Holland Christian Homes in his late 80s. When Mary's father married, he moved into the upstairs apartment for 3 years. When Jack and Mary got married, they lived in the main house for 3 months until Jack graduated from Calvin College and they moved to Toronto. Grandpa had moved into a Nursing home by this time.
