Hobart Gazette 24 June 1921.
This is what Joe E. Mellon was offering for sale:
By 1921 this frame building had been moved from Main Street onto the parsonage lawn along Front Street.
Mr. Mellon found a buyer whose name we don't know — just an ordinary man who contributed as best he could to Hobart's long tradition of demolishing its historical buildings.
Hobart Gazette 22 July 1921.
(Happier news of some other acquaintances: John Kegebein already planning to rebuild his burned barn, and Ruth Miller visiting her family on their farm south of Ainsworth.)
