Sweetie at County Line Rd,
(Hatboro, PA)
This is the online photo album of Sweetie, Lew, and Lewis when they resided at County Line Rd in Hatboro, PA (please note that their house was on the Bucks County side of the road), beginning in September 1949.
The House at County Line Rd
This is the earliest known photograph of the house at County Line Rd. that Sweetie and Lew purchased in 1949.
Sweetie had asked the builder for the photograph, and they provided it to her. As such, the picture has the builder's sign in front, indicating the builder's name as R. Leon Weir, Hatboro, PA.
This house still stands today and is on the Bucks County side of the road (this road literally divides Bucks and Montgomery Counties in southeastern Pennsylvania), despite Hatboro technically being a part of Montgomery County.
Note the tree line behind the house. That tree line is long gone today, as this is now a densely populated area. However, this was not the case in 1949, in which Sweetie described the area as secluded, to the point that this house, when they lived there, had no number.

Lewis at County Line Road
This picture of Lewis (Sweetie's son) outside his house at County Line Rd. is a rare photograph of the time from the collection.
It is most likely that Lewis is sitting in his neighbor's yard (the Riesselmann's) and that the little girl sitting in front of him is one of the Riesselmann's children. The dog also belongs to the neighbor.
Sweetie's home at County Line Rd. can be seen in the background of the photo.
In this photo, Lewis is holding a toy gun and wearing a holster, as well as the Gene Autry shirt that he received for his 5th birthday in September 1950, from his Aunt Jeanne.

Sweetie, Lewis, and Mrs. Riesselmann
This beautiful photo is most likely from fall 1950. This picture shows Sweetie standing on the right next to her neighbor, Mrs. Riesselmann. Lewis is standing, petting the Riesselmann family dog, Bonnie. Mrs. Riesselmann's youngest child is pictured in the stroller.
The water pump on the right side of the picture indicates that this picture was taken on the Riesselmann's property.
