In the 1960's we lived in a new house on an old dirt road
It was my parents first home and they loved their abode
Our house was the first one built in one of the new additions
It was a small 5 room ranch home to continue family traditions
At the end of our street there was an old settlers dwelling
The first settler and many stories that are quite compelling
My older sister and I thought that the house might be haunted
We tried to walk up there, but by my parents we were thwarted
John and Mary *** were the first settlers in my home town
But their home in 1980's was not saved and quickly torn down
They arrived in 1818, and built on Taylor and Rocky Ford
This huge home by their family was respectably adored
Now on that big old hill stands a Masonic Temple
Where many gather to the meetings they assemble
