The obituary of Francis Marion Marvin (1857-1919) says "Shortlyafter marriage he moved with his wife to a farm in Richland Countywhere he lived until he removed to a farm in Huron County in 1901. He lived on this farm until 1905 when he moved to Greenwich andbecame engaged in the implement business which he continued for anumber of years." (I don't know the name of the newspaper.) In the 1910 census he is living on East Main Street in GreenwichVillage and is working as a farm implement dealer (self-employed). I think his house was on lots 310 and/or 311 "in BenjaminKniffin's Addition to west Greenwich, Ohio" based on a 1920 deedfrom his heirs in Huron County Deed Record, volume 109, pages253-254, but I haven't figured out the street address. I don't knowwhether his business was also located there. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2016 14:28:19 -0400 From: vsk03@aol.com Subject: Re: [OHHURON] Frank Marvin's farm implement dealership in Greenwich 1905 - between 1910 and 1919 To: vsk03@aol.com, ohhuron@rootsweb.com Cc: FrancesVanScoy@aol.com Message-ID: <155d0ead78d-58c8-1f784@webprd-a75.mail.aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Partial success.

I think I found the Frank Martin house unless numbering has changed. Looking at some exterior change it could fit 1910 decade. First I went to Greenwich old photos and came up with an old postcard that showed a church; next to google earth. E. Main, Greenwich is the only street available. Wonder of wonders the old church still exists - United Methodist and got the address of 19 E. Main. So took a ?drive?, up and down the for awhile, checking landmarks, that is, commercial properties. Found the Shell Gas Station, among others, googled and found the address, 45 E. Main. Thought maybe the house would have been torn down. But looked at the next house anyhow, enlarged it and saw 47. Later just put the address in google and it seems to be up for sale. No ?built in? listed. You might get in touch with the realtor for more information including how to get the records from the past. Gloria Ishida Re-sending text only here. Working on two different computers so made a mistake on the roots web address. Message with attachment (photo of possible house) went to ?vsko3? and Frances VanScoy. ?Housework is a treadmill from futility to oblivion with stop-offs at tedium and counter productivity.? ?
