My great-grandmother, Malinda Wise, bought one of them after her husband died. She lived on a farm with her nine children in Clay Township about 5-6 miles south of Gallipolis. I wondered if they were used commercially to grow and sell produce. She eventually had the property seized in a lawsuit to a Maria Long. Neil E. Folsom, CA Thanks for the offer Cheryl, but I have been there and seen the lots. (My great-grandmother's lot is now a gravel parking lot for a tire store) I am interested in whether these were mostly just family vegetable gardens, or if some of them were used for commercial purposes. My great-grandmother's family didn't own any buildings in town, and they lived about 5 miles away in the country. Neil
