  On numerous occasions the same home became a maternity hospital. Mrs. McDannald was a midwife. Several of her daughters came back to their parental roof when the hour drew near for a baby to be born.

This feature of the building has now been lost, as the fireplace was razed a few years ago. McDannald also built a box-type kitchen addition to the log house.
