She lavishly furnished and restored this farm. She decided to live on this farm after a visit to Harrisville. She raised prize Hampshire sheep. Sometime after her death the farm was purchased by the Mainville family. As a young child (I'm now 66 y.o.) I spent time on this farm with my family, visiting my aunt, uncle and cousins. The farmhouse was spectacular with furnishings, tiles and wallpapers brought back from her travels to Italy. We had a great time playing and the barn and the little white children's playhouse. The property was graced by black walnut trees, grazing fields and surrounded by hilly terrain. My relatives sold the farm, I believe, in the late 1960's. I visited the property in about 1998. Not sure who owned it but it had been cut up into apartments, but much of the original tile, etc remained. It was later sold and I believe his is being restored by private owners. There are rumors it may become a bed and breakfast. Hope this helps.vdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900106313704019032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-70342377871046578822018-12-30T13:21:38.710-08:002018-12-30T13:21:38.710-08:00Hello, they did have children.
