Whipple Home and "Henry," Oct. 5, 1940

Is this the same house whose photo appears elsewhere in this blog? (Probably)
In Lake View, part (or just outside) of Tooele.
From LeGrand's personal photo album

LeGrand's Childhood Home in Tooele?

In the fall of 2006 my daughter met a woman at a government office. The woman indicated that her elderly mother had known LeGrand and his parents when they lived in an area of Tooele named Lake View. We contacted the mother, who showed us this house a few days later. Except for the garbage container at the side of the house, it appeared abandoned.

This is apparently where LeGrand lived during the late 1920's and 1930's. Does anyone recognize this place? (Click here for a photo of the home in 1940.)

The house is at GPS coordinates 40.552140, -112.258236 ... On Google Maps, it looks like this:

Google gives the address as 1043-1499 Ericson Road, Tooele, UT.

Logan Home

On Memorial Day earlier this week, we stopped at 265 North 3rd East to see the last place LeGrand and his family lived in Logan, Utah. He graduated from the AC (present-day Utah State University) on June 3, 1949. By the end of the summer, the family had moved to Idaho Falls. The place has been amazingly well maintained!
This is the door to the basement apartment where LeGrand and his family lived. It is now labeled as apartment C.
Here is the same downstairs apartment door seen from a distance.

These photo were taken while travelling home from the Memorial Day family picnic at the village where LeGrand and Erline are buried. We miss you, LeGrand and Erline!
