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.

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 Joseph and Sara Anne Campbell lived their first few years.

There next residence was with Betty's mother Anna Veronica Berish Timko who was by then living alone at 1640 Oak Street SW in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio after the death of her husband Joseph John Timko. Once again the couple found them living in an attic in the small house.

It was around 1960, that George and Betty finally made the decision to buy their first house. It was a newly constructed house at 2475 Cranwood Drive, which at the time, was and up-and-coming neighborhood. In fact, it was the house where the family of eight referred to as home.

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.
