THE COCHISE

This three-story clapboard structure houses Ezn and Elvira Hooton's boarding house. Ezra and his wife live on the first floor where the kitchen and dining room are located. Rolf Larsen, Herbert Loomis, Tony Lucky, Governor Pike, Norman Wilkie, Judson Willis, Mike Moore, Porter Norris, Billy Glass and Shamus O'Hara all board at The Cochise.

The remaining room (a small, cramped, third-floor dormer room) will almost always be vacant. Rooms rent for $6 a week (including breakfast and supper).

Elvira cooks for the boarders, but not for the general public. Ezra has a large garden on the property and keeps about three dozen chickens in building 88 and half a dozen hogs in building 89. Judson Willis
assists him in running this small farm in exchange for free room and board and $2 a week spending money.
