The "Little House"

Emmett and Elsie Touby lived in the "Little House" after they were married.  It was just down the road from the big house where Albert and Kate lived.  Emmett farmed for his father so it was very convenient to build a smaller home on the property.  Both Louise and Dorothy were born in the little house.  Later, when Kate and Albert moved to E. Mulberry Street in Kokomo, Emmett and Elsie and the girls moved into the big house.  Albert and Pearl Hensler moved into the little house as farm tenants.
