Etta Giles appear in directories as living on South Front near Parkview, which is the <br />location of 401 County Road. In the 1930s, before Louisville addresses changed, the <br />address was given as 20 Front. <br />The federal census records show Frank and Etta Giles to be living at this location in the <br />1910, 1920, 1920, and 1940 censuses. In 1910, they were here with all three of their <br />children: Ella, who was 15; Frank Jr., who was 12; and Lottie, who was 9. In 1920, they <br />were living here with their son, Frank Jr., and their daughter, Lottie Secord, and her <br />husband, Edgar Secord, and their baby boy, also Edgar Secord. At the time, Frank Sr. was <br />a coal miner, Frank Jr. worked with mule teams in the mines, and Edgar Secord was a <br />fireman for the railroad. In 1930 and 1940, the census records show just the two of <br />them, Frank and Etta, living in this house. <br />It is believed by Ron Buffo, who has given a presentation on the 1914 mine conflict, that <br />401 County Road can be seen in the following photo taken by Frank Jacoe in 1914. This <br />was at the time of the strike conflict when federal troops were called in to Louisville at <br />the end of the long 1910-1914 mining strike. The photo is believed to show the houses <br />on the corner of County Road and Parkview. <br />The following is a close-up of the buildings from this photo: <br />
