I knew Toivo Heiskanen, his farm abutted my grandfather's farm, and they were friends. My grandmother came from Quincy at about that time as well. My grandfather was in Ashburnham before coming to New Ipswich. He stopped farming in 1956 as well.
Concerning the Barrs, I think Miss Laura's house was not the Barr estate. Not sure where it was.
