Yes, Tom Flournoy came people I think. Got a Danville on the Diablo man. That's a picture here in l855. Kentucky nice place just east of road from J. P. Christ- of the present house-- their second one. Horton, of Livermore it was that built it for 'em. It was ready on New Years Eve of 1872 and there was a big house- warming, you may be sure. And then in February a little girl was born. Back in Civil War days when nUnelo Tem's Cabinn was so popular they'd gotten the name of their youngest boy, Shelby, and this was their little Eva. She grew to be the prettiest child I have ever seen. Golden curls and great blue eyes. But like the story she died a child. It was a hard blow, but they keep her close to them. She lies in their little ee- metery cast of the house, you've seen it. Tom'd married back east, but she lies by the trail. That was a hard trip for a woman in those days. William was his child by Elizabeth Neal. He was married again a year before he came here to a girl named Kifer, Laurentio Kifer. They had eight children I think. It was for her he built the house. And a great show-place it was, so ' large and square and white, and lots of molding and braekett and balustrade--those were impor- tant points in judging a fine house then. But its the front porch that somehow seems to say wo're from the South. Those six white square columns and the magnolia, and the ivy trees-- It was very beautiful the other day when I was there. It was a windy, cloudy day and that white porch alternatingly gleamed and fell into shadow, I cut in. Yes, we've been having funny weather for May, more like April or March. What about it, think 1t's going to rain today?
