We tried to
renovate the interior of the home.
Unforunately, when we purchased the home, a lot of cheap rennovation
had been made, so we tried to keep what we could that was unique to the
home. Removed three trees in the back, and 1 in the front.

My
house was built in 1887 by the
Cook family. I don't know much about this house as I'm the first
"non-family" to live in it since it was built. I'm looking for anyone
that can tell me more about my home and the family that built it and
lived here. |

| Memories |
Our
house has been bought and sold 3 times in the past 5 years and the
house flipper we bought it from has no history on the house. We know it
was built around 1910 but that is all the information we have. We are
looking for ANY information about our house, so if you have any please
let us know. |

worked in Beloit (a power plant
there), mom was a house keeper, and I went to Hononegah.
|
| Changes to House
|
We
remodeled the entire house. We
painted the outside (it used to be brown originally) so it was now a
yellow color. The floors were originally shag carpet (but we replaced
it with Pergo flooring thankfully). I could go on about the changes we
did. |

| Changes to House
|
Siding
was put on the house in 1980
and the front and back porches were removed, I'm sorry to say.
|
| Memory
|
The
Thanksgiving Holiday is always a
favorite memory in this house. Playing Croquet in the back lawn when I
was a child, when my grandparents were living, is a very fond memory.
|
| Other Information
|
This
house was built in 1842 and is
known as the Lemen-Frakes House. It was built for Rev. Benjamin F. and
Mary Putnam (Rand) Lemen. The Lemen's were a very prominent family in
Salem and southern Illinois. Rev. Lemen was a Baptist minister. Mrs.
Lemen was an eduator. Their daughter, Lydia, married Count John
Sobieski, Prince Royal and heir to the throne of Poland. Abraham
Lincoln stayed in the house on 9 June 1849. My great-grandparents,
Julius and Anna (Maier) Merten moved into the house in 1909, purchasing
it in 1914. My grandparents, William Philip and Beatrice M. J. (Merten)
Frakes purchased the house in 1941. My parents, Philip Howard and Monna
Marilyn (Conant) Frakes, purchased the house in 1981. We still own the
house in 2007. |

Cut down two
trees in the backyard.
Two large bushes at the start of the sidewalk to the front door were
cut down.
A two small gardens was planted.
The upstairs bathroom was demolished.
Wallpaper was taken down in the bedroom on the right, if you were to
walk up the stairs.
|
| Tell

All of my
memories as a young child were in this
house. I was only 2 years old when I move here, and left when I was 9.
There is honestly too much to type down, and most of it is hard to
explain. Many simple, but important memories.

Added
a patio in the back of the
home as well as all the landscaping, including the Black Japanese pine
trees flanking the driveway. I recall that the landscaping cost $3,000
and was designed to require the least amount of yard work.

| Memory
|
Playing
on the island in the sand
and along the beaches when very few homes were there.
|
| Other Information
|
Although
we resided on deep water
and had a small pier, we only owned a boat for a very short time and
never really enjoyed being on the water much; however, we liked our
unobstructed view of Broad Bay until homes were built across the
street. We were about the seventh home built on the island, and I
recollect many of the first families who resided at Bay Island: the
Butlers, Sundts, Abbotts, Donaldsons, Deloaches, Shaws, Wares,
Humphreys, Sweeneys, and Tarrants.
