| Description: |
| Story 1: | Information from Childress Rodgers. "In April of 1970 I moved to 607 Wooster Pike in Terrace Park. My next door neighbors were Edith and Matt Cook. Mr. & Mrs. Cook were born in this area in the late 1800s and lived here most of their lives. They were a great source of information about the history of Terrace Park. These are a few facts that they told me. |
| Mr. and Mrs. McMullen owned this house and land across the street where they had a barn and pasture for their horses and cows. The Cooks believed that the house was built in the late 1800s. When Mr. McMullen (David) died, Mrs. McMullen supported herself by serving chicken dinners and homemade ice cream on weekends. People came from Cincinnati on the Swing Line Railroad which ran through Red Bird Hollow to Terrace Park. | |
| So many people were coming that she added a front porch to the house for an extra dining room. Sometimes Mrs. Cook and her sister waited tables for Mrs. McMullen. She was known for having the first fresh garden vegetables of the year and made her own bread, hot rolls and was famous for her ice cream. Mrs. Virginia Marquett of 800 Indian Hill Road still has some of Mrs. McMullen's recipes for ice cream and hot rolls." | |
| Virginia Marquette adds that her mother's sisters Evelyn and Helen often helped wait tables. The meal served was fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh vegetables, homemade potato rolls, with angel food cake or ice cream for dessert. Chicken hearts evidently were not needed for the dinners so they were sent over to the Cook home next door. Groups of ladies made reservations to come for lunch and then play cards, mainly bridge, afterwards. | |
| Story 2: | McGee on 1939 & 1942 maps. The McMullen daughter, Leonora, married John Schrimper who had a sister, Mable who married Frank McGee. After John Schrimper and his sister both died, Leonora married Frank McGee. |
