1928: Eckert Road home of Jacob G. Epp family. The wood for this home and three others was ordered
from a catalogue and was shipped by boxcar to Yarrow by the BCE Railway. The boxcar was "spotted" near
the Yarrow station on Wilson Road. All the wood was mixed up, packed so it it would all fit into the boxcar.
It took a few trips by horses and wagon to get the right pieces to the right place.
