Research Notes

In 1939 Bob bought a home at 357 Balsam St. in the Skyline area of Bakersfield. In 1940 he married Evelyn McCutcheon and they lived there until 1946. On 3 December 1946, they moved to a house at the edge of town on two and one half acres of land in the Fairhaven area, at 3211 Fairhaven Drive. They had chickens, ducks, geese, goats, one dog and cats galore. They sold the "farm" in October 1974 and had to pay two months' rent on their old place until their new home was finished. They moved into the new house in March 1975. The new house is in the Olive Tree area of Bakersfield at 5605 Nomi St. [This unsigned note was included in inherited family records].
