Colonel and Mrs. William P. Stokey and children, Mary, Billy, Kathleen and Roger, have taken possession of their new home on Rockmont Drive.
They got Maggie/Margaret's name wrong, but so it goes.

Kathleen's mother, Annie, was by now living with Will and Kathleen. She isn't mentioned in the item, but I'm adding this to her documents anyway. Also, I wonder about the money aspect of this. There would have been money from the sale of the Savannah house, and I think Ruth probably had some money from her father - either via will or trust - and I don't know where it would have ended up.

I wonder if one of the things they were looking for in a house was "a nice big living room for entertaining". See:
