Missouri was built in 1917 on the Finis Ball  Farm.  Finis  and  Dollie
(Tucker) Ball lived just over the hill  from  this  house.  When  their
children would get married they would live in the  Wean'n  House  until
they could afford a place of their own. In their older years, Finis and
Dollie moved to the Wean'n House. Grandpa Finis lived there  until  his
death in 1956.

The house still stands and is a gift shop. The front porch was  damaged
in a storm but the rest is the original. The old barn still  stands  in
the back.

Grandpa & Grandma spent a lot of time on the front  porch  during  good
weather. Grandpa made cedar  walking  canes  and  Grandma  was  usually
fixing vegetable or sewing.
