The Hoover home, later the Martin home, located at 1502 6th Avenue in Sterling.
An excerpt from the biography of Anna (Wechsler) Cornils, born January 7, 1884, by Margaret A. Cornils, reads as follows: "To earn money my grandmother started to work when she was twelve years old. She first got jobs helping out neighbors, a couple of weeks at a time. Then for the next ten years she worked for "old lady" Hoover in Sterling. She did housework in a big two-story house, took care of Mrs. Hoover's horse, mowed the lawn, took care of the garden, and tended the chickens. She even fell out of the cherry tree when she got too far out on a limb. For all of this she got two and one-half dollars a week!"
