Their car was used only to go to church, elsewhere they rode their bicycles. Charlie was hit by a car while riding his bicycle and died as a result, leaving Lulu to finish her ` secret life alone, possibly dying from the effects of malnutrition since their miserliness was well known to everyone. The final years of the house were obscured by legal entanglements. When it was offered for sale, eager and interested buyers were turned away for some mysterious reason. Though boarded up, the house and its contents were vandalized before it was eventually torn down in 1972, leaving behind many unanswered questions and a legend of bygone days.

The "x • Fitzpatricks also maintained a block square vegetable garden on Main Street. Their dock jutted far out in the bay with a two-story summer house at the base which remains to be seen today as ' well as the original house, converted into a two-family dwelling. The carriage house was moved up to the bay and converted into a - home. -- Along Jackson Street on the bluffs overlooking the water are a number of houses,some of tliem furn-of-the-century and others more recently built on what was once a Tuthill farm. At the foot of Jackson Street, near the mouth of West Creek, Stuart H. Moore and Beverly S. King purchased a sandy spot of land in 1900. Their plan was to build a group of bungalows, total number 1 l, and a clubhouse to be used for card and sewing parties, after- noon tdas and evening dances, with a stage for theatricals. The club- house, also including bath houses and a kitchen, was surrounded by porches and a dock jutted out into the creek. Started in 1904 and completed several years later, the sales brochure described it as "A group of artistic and comfortable one and two story bungalows, consisting of six or nine rooms that cost S 1200 to S 1800 to build." The bungalows were given Indian names such as Pocahontas, Nokomis. Minnehaha and included rowboats with matching names. $ By scrambling the letters in Moore and King, an "old Indian name" was born and Kimogenor Point is what is was known as from then on. eervants' wing of '? # I only to go t0 was hit by a car Lulu to finish her malnutrition n ' ' The final years _ ;.
