Phillip Anderson with his horses and buggy at the intersection of Route 51 and Route 88. Phillip was the true horseman in the family and made his living alongside his precious animals. For many years Phillip would travel the streets of Brookline selling corn, strawberries and other products from the farm. |

Emma Anderson standing in the family orchard. The girls grew strawberries and grapes, and the trees produced sickle pears, bartlett pears and apples. |

William and Margaret Anderson shortly after their marriage in 1926. The family obtained most of their food on their property, including deer, rabbits ... and turtles. That should make a fine stew. |

Emma and Adolph Schulze. The Schulze's lived for years in the home at 1331 Breining Street, right at the entrance to the farm. They were perched in a perfect position to watch the evolution of their family land into the beautiful Brookline Memorial Park of today. Emma passed away in 1977. The photo below shows Emma and Adolph on the front porch of their home. |
