This Clipping doesn't have the date on it. but since there is a zip code on
the man who got this paper, I'm guessing it was some time after July 1963 when zip codes
started. I can't tell by the heading if this was The Frost Star --- or
what paper was being printed around that time. I think this was mailed to
a cousin of mine up in Ohio....and someone wrote "The old Grimes Home" on it.

"Fuller" was the only name I knew the man by....but he leased the land
from my grandmother, Lydia Grimes, and eventually bought the house. I could
probably find the deed in Corsicana. This picture says Homer Fuller, but
when I looked on Census records, I'm not sure he was the one. Once when
we happened to be over there, the gate was open, so we drove in, and
Fuller's son and wife were out there changing the oil in his car. We
couldn't really get over to where the old house was.

The house was build around 1902.
