Yes I lived in that house back in 1978 through early 90's. My patents bought this property from Arthur's We were in that house the year of the blizzard 1978. My parents raised hogs cows and a garden every year. The smoke house behind the house my mother would do all of her canning in there from the garden plus we would hang meat up inside to cury it. My parents name was Ludwig Jerome Coffee and Nannie Coffee. My parents sold the place to another family then shortly after that the house was torn the bank barn was also torn down. In Ohio there isnt that many bank barns around any more. This property also had two wells on it also it came with 5acres of land

My uncle Danny Sage live with my grandparents Marlin Sage Sr. and Edith Sage cady corner from the coffee family. Their daughter my now aunt Juanita Coffee (Sage) married my uncle Danny Sage the neighbor. Growing up as a little girl I had good memories of the coffee family. Now at 40 and living in florida this picture brings warm and great memories. I remember that big red barn it was always unique looking to me as a child and i know why now reading the history of the barn. The coffee family was a special family and always made you feel welcomed and they were and still are a part of my family the Sage's.
