722 Beaver Street, Santa Rosa, CA.





On August 6,1929 there was a little bundle arrive at the William Stringall's home which they named Carolyn Jeanette. She was born in Santa Rosa CA. in a house at 722 Beaver St. and she weighed in at 8 and 1/4th lbs.
Grandma Ruddock was living in the home with them, and I only have one memory of her leaning over my crib. In the picture of the house she is sitting on the top step on the right. I wish I had more memories of her but she died when I was very young.
I don't have any memories while we were there, but have a few from SF which is where we moved next. I remember my father getting hit when he backed his car out of the driveway, Also remember playing under a table with a long fringed cloth on it, and I would pretend I had a playmate to play with, as I didn't have anyone else to play with. One mas I had pnemonia and they put the tree in my bedroom so I could see it all the time. Xmas eve I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night to find Santa had been there and he left me my baby doll, so even though being sick is was still a nice xmas.
The pictures are of the old house, mom and I and then myself in a rocking chair. The rocker would be neat to have now for one of my bears.
We moved to Burlingame next after that.

How cool is that! Annie and I just drove by your old house on Beaver street the other day. Shawnie showed us where that was on our first trip there, and on the way to her place this time, we looked down the road and THERE IT WAS! Not hard to miss with those colors too!!!!!
