Notes: The two photos at the right show the front of the Hancock residence at 2425 Second Street in west Napa. The family resided here for over two decades — about 23 years total. The children grew up here. This was the main family home. In some years the front porch and the wire fence in front were covered by plants and vines. Notice that a tall water tank building was to the left of and slightly behind the house. The right-most photo shows the bottom third of the windmill at the top of the water tower.

Son Bud thought that Wilfred and Nora had paid $2,400 for the place.

The three photos at the right show the left side of the house, the wire fence along the front yard, more of the lush follage in the front yard, and the driveway.

The photo at the left shows Ruth, Bud, Bee, and Leola Hancock in the front yard of 2425 Second Street in 1921. The children are standing on the wooden walkway that went from the front of the house to the side. The front gate and the wire fence can be seen in the right background. The wooden railing of the front porch can be seen in the left background.

The photos below were taken years later . . . .

The photo at the right shows the Shell Oil Company's tanks and buildings that were next door to the Hancock's 2425 Second Street residence. Son Bud later became a driver for Shell. The photo shows several members of the Hancock family. The photo at the far right shows children on the swing that Wilfred made in the back yard. Both photos were taken in April 1927.

The three photos at the right show some of the rear of the house circa 1940. Bud and Ruth are in front of the door into the back porch. The back porch can be seen behind Ruth and the cat. Nora is standing between the house and the water tank building. Water pumping equipment can be seen in the backgroud on the right. Click twice on the photos to see greater detail.

Wilfred and Nora moved on to their next home in either 1942 or 1943 — and their children all moved to other residences.
