My grandparents Amelia and Martin Joreski ran a 'boarding home' for children who needed a place to stay. It was also home to Arthur/Jim/Lillian Joreski. It's located on Substation Road, Brunswick Hills, Oh.

This home was owned by my Grandparents, Martin and Amelia Joreski. It's located on Substation Road, Brunswick Hills, Ohio. It was a "boarding home" for children that needed a place to stay.

I was one of her children. Martin Joreski had passed by then, Amelia (Mumsie) took me in, in 1959 till she gave up her home in 1969. She made provisions for me even when she could no longer care for herself. I started a book that was just too hard to finish, perhaps a reunion would inspire it.

I lived there for 4 - 5 yrs of my youth. Some of my best memories and some bad. I would love to have a reunion with the kids when I was there and share some memories. The Nash kids Jeffery, April Mikey or fatso as I remember. Bobby, rose, robin, Wendy, Charlie,tony, Robbie plus some more that at this time I can’t recall. Of course Verna, Buford Frankie . Let’s try and make it happen!

Moved here in 2022, love the house

Brunswick has changed greatly. But those of us who lived there will always remember the experience that’s made us who we are today. I still love to write. And anyone connected to Mumsie’s need only to sit down and write for the memories to come flooding back. This home will always remain a place in my heart.

Hi Buford, thank you for sharing your heartfelt memories of Brunswick! We would love to hear more about your experiences growing up in Medina County. Can you tell us what kind of changes you've witnessed since the photo was taken in 1975? Did you or your family engage in any specific farming activities on the property?

We bought this home in 2022. Love it!
