September 3, 1908. "AN ANCIENT LANDMARK REMOVED".-- One of the oldest log houses in Fremont county was torn down on the Ruben Calvert farm north of Sidney last week. The house was first built by M. A. Webster, a grandfather of Webster Bros., who reside here, and on land now owned by Frank Martin. The house was sold about 40 or 46 years ago to Silas Burt, who moved it to his farm and used it a good many years as a corn crib. Mr. Burt finally sold the house to Ruben Calvert; it was then moved to the Calvert farm where it has done duty as a corn crib for a good many years. Mr. Wiliams who now occupies the Calvert farm found it necessary to tear down the old house last week while making some needed improvements, and says that most of the logs are in good condition yet. He thinks he will again rebuild it and use it for a corn crib.
