Drove a school bus for many years. Was town policeman in Greenfield for a while.

When the phones were set up in the area they had a room in their house just behind the nw corner of the square in Greenfield that house the equipment where Elizabeth was the main telephone operator. The phones at that time were on a party line and you could tell who was being called by the number and type (long or short) hand cranked ring(ie. 2 long rings and 2 short rings) . You had a certain number on your party line and if you wanted someone else outside your line you called the operator ,1 long ring, (Elizabeth) to get them.
