Near the southern part of the town was the where Sarah Crepley and her family lived in a modest sized house that have them warmth to survive he harsh North East winters. Sarah lived in the house with her sister, Rose, and her parents, Albert and Ester. Of course, the house wasn't hers. but Sarah had only lived in one house her entire life and it was that house.
