My Neighborhood in 1907


The red arrow marks the location of the house I grew up in. My family has owned the property since the early 1930's. Murray's property was the last functioning farm on the block,it was still operating as a farm as late as the 1980's.Everything left of Branch Rd. is now part of the city of Flint. The church on the corner is no longer there. As far as I know none of the families from this map are still living on the block.
