| The House in Seymour |
In 2001, I visited Seymour, Texas and found houses with
similar roof lines and remnants of similar porches. Although I considered this
house unique, I learned that the style was not unique at that time. Looking at Latchstrings, A Cross-Section of Baylor County Homes published in
1986 by the Baylor County Historical Society, I saw even more houses of the
same style.
According to the following articles found in the
Baylor County Banner, my grandfather bought the land in 1917. About the same
time, he purchased a home to be moved to his property from Mr. W. A.
Bennett.

The home that he purchased could have very likely
been the residence of W. A. Bennett seen below. The picture was found while
transcribing old issues of the Baylor County Banner and appears to have
been taken in 1906.
