He and his wife, Orilla, originally raised their 13 children in a modest, single-room dwelling built on this very property around 1901. As their family grew, they constructed the home that stands today, using adobe and blocks handcrafted on-site from clay gathered near the local cemetery. In a remarkable example of pioneer resourcefulness, lumber from the original family home was salvaged and incorporated into the roof of the new residence.
