Resource Number: 5BL 11313 <br />Temporary Resource Number: 157508426011 <br />In buying this house, Frank Carveth was choosing to live directly across from where his mother, Ann Carveth, lived at <br />700 Pine (5BL11312). His father, Arthur, had passed away by 1914. Frank himself is believed to have previously <br />lived under his parents' roof at 700 Pine. <br />Frank Carveth, in 1895, married Mary Muckleroy. They had four daughters: Bertha, Hazel, Margaret, and Mildred. In <br />1918, Carveth purchased 1117 Jefferson in Louisville and the family is shown as living in their new home in 1918 in <br />the Louisville directory. (However, it should be noted that the deed by which the property was sold was actually <br />recorded in 1920.) Sadly, Frank Carveth was killed in the 1920 Interurban Railroad accident in which a number of <br />Louisville residents died or were injured. <br />The next family to own 701 Pine was associated with it longer than any other family, for over fifty years, from 1918 to <br />1970. Pleasant "Plez" Summers was born in 1862 and died in 1941. He and Rachel Bennett married in Kansas in <br />1896. They came to Erie in 1906 and to Louisville in 1914. She lived from 1877 to 1970. Plez Summers worked as a <br />coal miner, and he was still working at this occupation in 1930 when he was 67. The family belonged to the Baptist <br />Church, located nearby this property at 701 Grant. The Summers children who survived to adulthood were Florence <br />(Fultz) (1897-1985) and Myrtle (Wisek) (1898-1995). <br />Starting with the 1918 directory, and for the following several decades, the Summers family is shown as having lived <br />at 701 Pine. Census records for 1920 and 1930 also show the Summers family living at this location. <br />Following the death of Rachel Summers in 1970, 701 Pine was then associated with Herschel and Fern Martin, <br />Krestena Kae De Griselles, and the current owner, Scott Thomas. <br />The other addresses found for 701 Pine, under Louisville's old address system, were: 429 Pine, 203 Jefferson, and <br />440 Pine. Under the new address system, besides being known as 701 Pine, the house had the address of 700 <br />Jefferson in the 1949 directory. <br />36.
