When I was young I visited relatives that lived on that street and around the corner on Gattis. "Miss Ada" was an older woman (I think a spinster or widowed) and still living in the house in the late 50s & early 60s. We brought her dinner plates during Holidays and Sundays. I remember she had over a dozen cats roaming the house. Grown-ups told us to always use the front door when we brought her snacks because there was an open well in the rear yard and, "You kids will fall to ya death!"
