Many of you might not know that after my Aunt Betty married George Yeager Campell that the young couple lived for a time in an attic apartment  atop an old warehouse used by Allied/Burbank Van and Storage Company at 811 East Market Street (Apt. #1) in Warren, Ohio. While some might view the living arrangemet as unique, they happened to live above two of George’s sisters, Clara and Ruth. Also, having no garage, it was not uncommon to find George working on his car in the alley behind the building. Betty and George lived in that attic apartment for a number of years during the time when they began to increase in number. It was in that apartment that both my cousins James and Sara Campbell lived their first few years. In fact it was the birth of Sara that pushed the couple to look for larger accommodations.

• Married Richard Andrew Green on June 12, 1971 at Grace United Methodist in Warren, Trumbull Co, OH. The couple had no children. Richard passed away on October 21, 1976 in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

• 1xx Parkman Road [Note: The exact address of the family's first rental house is not known. My paternal Aunt Emma (Timko) Burin said that while driving with her mother Anna, Anna pointed to a small collection of houses next to the railroad tracks on Parkman and said that was the house the family lived in when they first arrived in the city. At the time, it never occurred to Emma to ask exactly which of the house had been the family's first home. However, from city records, the address would have to have been either 160, 170 or 178 Parkman Road, hence the 1xx designation.]
