| Judge D.M. McCarn "Judge McCarn's house is located at 106 West Webster. Owners since 1969 are Harvey and Dianna De Sotel. We are the third owners. The house looks much the same as when the picture was taken. We have a few oil paintings done by Mrs. McCarn and old books belonging to both." |
D. B. Sigworth "The D. B. Sigworth house is the house I own and live in at 112 South Sales Street. The horse barn is still there. Walter Waggoner bought the house in 1903 from D. B. Sigworth. Then in 1910, my great-great-grandfather Charles Barnhart Waggoner his and wife Mary (May) bought it from Walter (their son) and retired from their farm in Jackson Twp. It stayed in the family until March 1922, when Ruth Waggoner (their daughter) sold it to Sheriff W. A. Hogan. I bought the house in 1991 and have been working at restoring it." Jim Christianson |
H.M. Remley "The Remley house was torn down years ago. There was a long, long fight over the estate. For all that time the house was shut up and everything was left in place. It was finally sold in the 1960s, if memory serves me correctly. The house was in bad shape and the contents sold at auction." Steve Hanken |
W.T. Shaw The Shaw house, 509 S. Oak Street, is currently a bed and breakfast. The three-story Italianate mansion was built in 1872 and is listed on the National Historic Register. Its hilltop location gives Shaw House magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding area. |
