We had the celebration of life service for him on April 1. With that, I was going through some files and came across a folder titled “Sale – Mother Erickson’s Saugatuck Residence”. It had your sale stuff in it with a house picture from a magazine I would suspect. Most interesting was information about my grandparents purchase of the house. Not sure if my dad would have shared with you so it may be duplicate info for you. In a note from my grandma to my dad it says the following. “Bob, we paid $1,500 for Lot 87. Had a small house which we thought we could fix up to live in – but your dad found all the bottom part was rotten, had a nice paint job and a good roof, that’s all I guess - so it was torn down – I went up one day and nothing there – So we built a new house with a basement – Dad and uncle Doug built it – finished just enough to have a couple rooms to live in and over the years it was finished. I have no official record – your dad told me it cost $5,500 to build the house. We got the back lot for $100. Mrs Francis needed money and sold some lots for $200. I bought half and the Stempel’s (cannot read name (sp) clearly?) the front half. It made a nice garden. The house was built for a home we did not plan on selling – so really I don’t know how much it really cost for George (my grandpa) did so much of the finishing work.” The rest of the letter talked about other things in Phoenix. In the folder was also both Registry of Deeds. One for lot 87 (331 Grand), purchased in 1928, and one for the half lot, purchased in 1944. I took pictures of front and back and attached. Also an abstract of Title for the property. My dad may have shared that with you. History of things is like exploring … so much fun. Brian
