I had the opportunity to visit this little community where my grandparents, Edna and Charles, resided. I was given a tour of each of the still standing buildings in which my grandparents may have set foot in. I felt as though I were walking in their footsteps. It was an experience I will not soon forget. The buildings were the same buildings which stood in 1908-1912 that stood at the time my grandparents resided there. It would have been an experience of a lifetime if my grandfathers feed store had been standing but it was destroyed by fire shortly after he died. I have included pictures of the fire of 1912. It is interesting to note that the main street of Epping is still gravel and not paved.
