Summary: | In the early 1800s, todays Corner would have been the boundary of the Place. As the population grew, however, the Place extended beyond the Corner. As a central location, the Corner became a meeting place, particularly for the men and faithfully after mass on Sunday weather permitting. Bill English married into the Nash family, and he and his sons built their homesteads next to the Nashs. Some built behind the Nashs at the Gut, and some built behind the Square, around todays Corner. |
