with anticipation and recalled with joy. (Plates XI,

#88. Henry W. and Jennie W. Prince House, Southold. (he b. 1839, d. 1925)
Henry's family was the last to live in this early house while it stood on its cen-
turies old foundation east of the Brick Store on the homelot of William wells 1st,
Henry's daughter Edith proudly claimed, even after its second moving, to be the
last child born in the house. An 1885 Traveler article statesi "It is supposed to
be one of the most ancient in the village, probably 200 years old as it is said to
have been erected by William Wells, the lawyer of the original colony of settlers
in 1640." Edith said it had an oven in the kitchen fireplace and a wooden bar
across the inside of the front double doors. The house stood on a foundation of
large stones, and there was a small round cellar hole under the house. It was lo-
cated under the front hall of the house Henry built there. Fred G. Prince told of
seeing it in 1885. The house was bought by G.F. Hommel and moved by R.W.Hawkins of
Bellport to this second site on Traveler S7reet across from the depot. It was re-
paired and used as a rental, changing hands several times. Then in the early 1960s
the house was bought (for $500, it is saidt and again moved, this time to Brown's
Hills in Orient. Both photos are of the same side of the house, each showing a
different end gable. One could peek in the windows for several years and see the
exposed structural members while the Brooklyn school teacher owner gradually gave
it new dignity and care.. Edith went to see it several times, symbolically paying
the respects of her many Wells ancestors. [Hntnz, v.l, pp76,771
9L. Orrin A. and Harriet H. Prince House, Southold. (he b. 1849, d. 1937)
Orrin and Harriet bought this house on Railroad Ave. (Youngs Ave) 'n�1897 from Mrs.
J. Wickham. Years before, they had suffered the tragedy of losing all their chil-
dren in one week through diphtheria, two on the same day, the oldest only six.
When they moved here, they had been blessed with a second familyi Clifford, Mildred,
and Walter, ages 13, 12, and 9.
X94. Benjamin W. and Lucy W. Case House, Southold. (he b. 1847, d. 1920)
This house is west of the village on the south side of the Main Road near the
former Nellie Williams store. Of Benjamin and Lucy's children, two were dwarfs who
had careers as dressmakers and who made close and lasting friendships in the homes
of clients. (Plate XVIII)
