Notes: This house was originally occupied by the family of James and Tressa DeLong Dews; Tressa was the sister of Leila Luella DeLong, Adelbert "Deb" McKee's wife. Jeanette was Amos McKee's granddaughter (daughter of Ernest). Ernest was the grandson of Amos & Deb's sister Maxmilly. When Floyd McKee married his second wife Eva Beebe in 1923, the couple planned to occupy the house but Lottie McKee was concerned that the prior tenant had tuberculosis - so the house was burned down.
