Would this be the house on the southeast (more or less) corner of the
intersection?

  > Must say, I don't recall any sort of sign like that in Ellis Hollow -
unless Martha was working out of her house.

  It was put up at the driveway of a farm house at the foot of Ringwood Road
where a friend of mine had a minor mental war going on with the farmer.
The farmer's sweet (unsweetened) daughter was fooling around with college
boys much older than she, and the father took out his vengeance on my high
school chum who lived down in the Hollow, accusing him public to anyone who
would listen of terrible faults of character and minor crimes.   My buddy
installed a big mattress and the sign "Martha's Curb Service" at their
mailbox one mid-night so the school bus and all the Profs going to work the
next morning could learn the truth.    Of course everyone knew everything
anyway.  The farmer was the only one who cared, but the event brought it all
out in the public open, and the two parties were forced to call a truce to
their public hostilities.   After all, Ellis Hollow is a "Nice" place to
live.
