Bad Luck Ends for Denver Family in Garage Home
DENVER (UP) A penniless Denver family found a garage to shelter them and their six children after months of misfortune. William West 45 and Lillian 25 said they would consider adoption until an offer of the empty Norland garage provided a temporary home. They had traveled from Denver with $800, faced farm plans that failed, and faced eviction and a newborn death before the garage offer gave them hope and the chance to keep their children. The family expressed relief and optimism, noting job prospects improved with a place to live.
