Aunt Ruth's Book, Frank's Autobiography, Page 2, Paragraph 1
In 1889 father and his brother-in-law, Hans Hansen, built the first brick home in Mesa on the northeast corner of Block 4, facing MacDonald Street. We moved into the house Christmas Eve, 1889. It was a gloomy day for Christmas as we had no money to make Christmas merry. David Cluff was visiting us at the time and he put me through a lot of “Monkeyshines” which drove the gloom away. He then gave Sister and I [sic] a dime apiece with a hole in it so we strung them around our necks. He was a wonderful man and we loved him very much.
