Description
Black and white photograph of the home of Ephraim Anable (b. October 8th, 1844, 'in the old house that stood near Mr. Freeman's) and Ella E. Damon (b. May 12th, 1855, Westhampton). The couple married on November 11th, 1873 and had two living children as of 1905 - Myrtle Pease and Woodbridge Anable (who in 1905 was married and lived away from the home). Lewis Smith and Cynthia Niles purchased the land in 1841 then sold it to John Pomeroy who sold it to Rev. Asa Niles. Asa Niles built the house and sold it to Sam Anable. Elijah Willis (Ephraim's grandfather) purchased the home in 1859 and he lived with the Anable's until he died. He gave Ephraim 'life use' of the house and then it was meant to be passed on to Myrtle and Woodbridge. As of 1905, the farm consisted of fifty acres and the Anable's kept one cow, one horse, and 30 hens. One WHS member recorded that the house has been demolished. The house is featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 61, plate IV, #14.
