A Visit from James Schulte

One day during the summer of 2009 I was outside doing yard work when a car drove up. The driver (James Schulte) and his wife (Sandra Schulte) got out and wanted to talk about the house. He said he had recently retired and currently lives in Mississippi I believe. He made a special trip up to the midwest to retrace some of his past. He said he spent several summers here as a young kid with his grandmother Gertrude Walker. Walker is a descendant of Thomas Williams who was an early owner and passed the home down through generations. Upon arriving in Hagerstown, he stopped at Flatlanders cafe to see if anyone there could guide him to the home. He brought old photos (xeroxed copies in this post) to share and eventually got directions to the home. He had remembered the home as being on the outside of town. His visits were in the 1950's.
