In last Monday’s Piece of History about the mystery Ottsville house, we published the only modern-day image of the place that could be found — a screen shot from Google Maps, which showed the residence mostly obscured by foliage. Luckily, the current owner, Claudia Davis, stepped forward with this beautiful photo, which shows that things haven’t changed much at all.
I was also able to identify the people in the older photo as Dr. George Grim, his wife, Sarah, and their children, Harold and Sarah Margaret. As well as being a doctor, Grim served as a school board secretary, which explains the message (and the signature!) on the back of the postcard: “I have kept the school for you ... — Grim.”
