| Roberts' Shell Station, Eatery and Store 1930 in Sequim, WA. |
| I just could not wait to add this picture of grandma Elsie Mable (Crosby) Roberts in front of the station/store she had with grandpa Albert "Henry" Roberts. This was a second marriage for them both and together they had two children: Roy Albert Roberts b. 1924 and Etta May Roberts b. April 26, 1925. The family lived here 1932 to 1935 |
| Saturday, August 10th 2002 I received an e-mail from the new owners of this little home and I was so excited and delighted that I just had to share this with you (family): |

To: wodiandhubby@yahoo.com From: grege@olypen.com Subject: Henry and Elsie Roberts in Sequim Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 03:16:56 GMT Hello! We're Greg and Heidi Ennes and we live in Sequim WA in an old house built in 1927 on what used to be the main highway. I had always known your grandparents, Henry and Elsie Roberts lived here in this house back in the early 30's from the local book "What's Down That Road?" by Harriet Fish. I'm sure you must know about it because your mother is mentioned in it. (If you don't, let me know, I'll fill you in!) Anyway, we are in the middle of a small remodel job right now and I tore out a closet exposing the bare wood wall after tearing away many layers of wallpaper. Scrawled on the wall are the names: HENRY, ELSIE, RALPH & ROY . I got on the internet, typed in those first names along with "sequim" and up popped your website! We know this little house was used as a gas station back in those times,so was very pleased to see that mentioned on your site as well! Just thought you and your mother might be interested that the house is still standing. We have lived here 5 years and love it. We are particularly struck by the photo on Etta's homepage of Elsie Roberts and younger children (Etta and Roy) in 1928. We think they must be pictured in front of our house! Thanks for taking the time to create the web page. It is so interesting to more people than you ever could have imagined.... We'd be happy to send you any pictures. Maybe you'd like one of the "grafitti"? Greg and Heidi |
| AncientFaces.com This is where we had the picture posted the first time. I wasn't sure of the year the place was built. |

| Before 7:00 am (8-11-02) I just had to add this picture and the wonderful surprising message from Greg and Heidi. I will add the "grafitti" and a picture of the first home as soon as I get them. Thank you so much. This means a lot to our family. |
| *Grandma had three older children also; (from a previous marriage to George Uhrich). They were: George "Ed", Clara Belle and Ralph Uhrich. |
