Title: Clyde Burgay Place

"I was always fascinated by the Burgay House. It was built with a center room that had no windows and the walls were double thick. I was told by my parents that knew Clyde Burgay, that he was a well-known bootlegger and the center room was where he kept his home brew before it was sold. After, I knew the house, it was on our land and later it was struck by lightning and burned down."

"The Clyde Burgay House is now gone."
