out in the oak grove along Main
street Back around 1918 and 1920

had a hotel but the Gresham House
was the popular place for visitors,
traveling salesmen and Journeymen
to stop, back in the olden days. Mr.
Gresham was proud of his house
because he built it himself not so
long after he and Mrs. Gresham
were' married and all their children
had been reared In lt
It was under these oaks that Mr.
Steve told Sam Byrd the story of
