Myrtle Henderson Rockwell's home,where she was born..



Myrtle told me she was born in Dagget. Her parents bought this home for $92.dollars. Imagine a house costing $92. dollars.  Bear in mind it was 1915 or so. Now depending on where one lives, even if the median price was say $200,000. That is over 2100 times the amount they paid one hundred years ago. Wow, so if America goes for another hundred years (it won't) but say it does. Housing would be  uh let's see... do the math....
$40,000,000. Oh a house would only be forty million at that rate. 

Here is a picture of the house.
And another one

Myrtle's mom and dad. From what she told me she had wonderful loving Christian parents. I look forward to meeting them when I get home with the  Lord in heaven.

Humble home, but they were thankful and happy to have it. Love makes the house a "Home." Would you agree?

These are fun pictures. Myrtle spoke often of her mother and father, often. A Great legacy. She loved them dearly. She took care of her mother in this home on Lenore until she passed away going home to the Lord.
Beautiful home too. This is where I cared for Mrs. Rockwell for ten years, 7/24. Funny, Myrtle's father worked on the railroad, and Myrtle's estate was railroaded into a direction she had no intention of doing.
Well, that's life , elderly taken advantage every day. Truth is everyone will give an account to God, so nothing will be missed; even though people think it will.
Until then, watch and wait. :)
