Ervin Family Home

Here follows an excerpt of Eddie Ervin's recollections as published by the Rose Hill Civic Association on their website:

My name is Eddie Ervin. I was born on November 4, 1954. My parents (Reese and Dorthy Ervin) picked out the house (and the lot) they wanted and watched it being built. I think we moved in around December 1954. The original address was 2406 Rose Hill Drive, but I think the address number had changed to 6415 right before we moved away when I was 11.

I stumbled onto the 'MyRosehill.com' website and the pictures in the photo gallery brought back a flood of memories and feelings. My older sister was friends of the Beaty's daughter (Bonnie), and Pat Shankle (Miss Rose Hill Shopping center) was another friend of my sister's. I used to play inside the original Rose Hill home - we kids thought it was haunted. There was an underground tunnel behind the house we use to dig in.

I have nothing to offer in the way of old photos - sorry, I'd gladly contribute if I could.

Would there be any other photos before 1965 that I could view? What a wonderful thing it would be able to view a treasure-trove of old Rose Hill photos. — Eddie Ervin
