Without disturbing the tenant or the interior arrangement of his home, the house owned by W. E. Merrow and occupied by John Farwell is being moved from Union Street up Oak to Holland Street. It was decided that it would not be necessary for Mr. Farwell to move out and, therefore, he together with all of his household goods is being slowly moved from Union to Holland Street.
