This little wooden house was built no later than 1888, at which time it was the home of William Hearl, a teamster. Woodburn lists him both as a boarder and the primary resident.
A teamster, in modern American English, is a truck driver, or a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a labor union in the United States and Canada. Originally, the term "teamster" referred to a person who drove a team of draft animals, usually a wagon drawn by oxen, horses, or mules.
