WYOMING, Ohio -- Margee Moore feels as if her family is a perfect fit for the late 1860s Wyoming home of flour manufacturer Gideon Palmer. He and his wife, Mary, had six children, one of whom, Lizzie Stearns, went on to rear two children in the house and undoubtedly hosted many a social event for locals connected to her husband's family's cotton wadding and mattress business.
The five-bedroom, 5,394-square-foot house is brick and three stories high. Its ample front porch sits a stately distance back from the street. It might look intimidating to some, but first and foremost, Margee said, the big old house is a people place where the Irish-Catholic Moores host annual St. Patrick's Day and Wyoming High School homecoming float-building parties.
