Letter: Methodist church parsonage

Yvonne Kolbenschlag writes:
I believe the parsonage house still exists. When the present church was built, the parsonage was moved, not torn down. It must have been quite a job, because it looks to be a substantial house. Jane Keltner knows the street where it is located. I never checked this out.

Grover Gilpin gave me some photos of the parsonage, quite near the church building, and I carried them to the room upstairs that serves as a chapel and has some of the former church's furniture. Furniture is really nice, I think. (Bessie and Billy Willis were married in the former church building.) I think some men from the former church are in the photograph. They are having a smoke break.

PS The house that was located on the corner where Downey's Eye Clinic was located, was also moved. I remember there was a framed photo of it being moved hanging on the clinic wall when Max was located there. I wonder where it was moved to?
