from Wife's obit.

The house was north of the RR station, and with a fence around it, must have
been quite nice. This same time period, J.J. was beginning his
Mercantile/Grocery business in Butler across from the Courthouse.  

Robert Scandrett was involved with numerous Land purchases and sales. Played a
significant role in Taylor County business
