Newberry Street

(1980 memoirs)
[Henry Clapp's] sister Frances [1866-1958] was a very dear and unusual person.  She lived in a nice little white colonial house on Newberry Street [in Ripon] and let out some rooms converted into an apartment to an unmarried lady - Clare Mears - who sewed beautifully and made her living by it.  They got along year after year with no bathrooms, no furnace, no refrigeration.  Imagine that.
