Next owner was MR. AND .MRS. GIL CYR. Gil and Pauline and their family: Diane Joanne Carol Robert

They did some farming, but built a Purina Mill and feed store there on the east part of the lot. This they operated, in addition t:o running school buses for Augusta Township School Area Board and later South urenville District High School.

1976 they sold the farm and business, reserving part of the land, to MR. A.ND MRS. JOHN VANDERMEY, who operate the farm machinecy business. The feed store is now operated and owned by BERRY FEEDS, with Don Francis employed as salesman.

Note: It is thought, but cannot now be proven, that the small stone structure adjoining the main house may have been an early residence on this lot, probably the second such house, following the first which would likely have been log building.
