Ralph Ellsworth & Strawberry Picking Time

[Henry]

Ralph Ellsworth who lived & died in the house he was born in on the corner of Commette & Fletcher Road used to go & pick strawberries just about every day when they were in season, then drop them off to his relatives, friends & neighbors.  He was truly a very nice man who got a lot of satisfaction doing nice things for people.

[Rev. Elizabeth]

Yes!  I would walk into the parsonage kitchen and there, waiting for me, would be a box of strawberries.  He once told me that he enjoyed picking them, but he didn't enjoy eating them all that much.  What a great man he was!
