    Earl Medlin is erecting a modern brick veneer bungalow on the lot recently
purchased from R. H. Stevens on Fifth Avenue. Carl Fields, Dallas, is doing
the concrete and brick work and I. J. Ellard is assisting Mr. Medlin with the
carpenter work. When completed the house will be Celeste’s second brick veneer
and one of the most substantial and modern residences in town. (January 7,
1926, The Celeste Courier)

(Believe the first brick house was on the corner of Third and Cockrell, where
the Church of Christ parking lot is today.  Believe it was the home of I. J.
Ellard.  This structure was moved to the country, north of Celeste, sometime
back.  Don't know the number of the country road, but approximately behind
Jeanne Glasscock.  The house was standing the last time I was down that road.)
