Fulton Gazette: Jessie D. Patton.
formerly a resident of Boone county,
but now Of Vernon county, is taking
down the doors, casing and stairway
of the old Russell residence west Of
Ashland. He proposes to ship the
old lumber to Vernon county to be
used in the construction of seats for
Baptist church. The lumberof which
the doors and and stairway were made
was sawed by hand with a whip saw
more than fifty years ago by Jacob
Strobe and his black men. From the
time this residence was built until now
it has never had an owner or an oc-
cupant who was not a Baptist. For
these reasons he takes this old lumber
to Vernon county to preserve it as q
relic Of former days. Jessie d. Pat
ton and Nancy Russell were married
