I really think the house was down the street more toward downtown where the lawn has a high terrace. It could have been that house that Jim Lovett used for his law office until it burned. I remember cement steps up that terraced lawn. marilyn
I had forgotten about Jim Dick Lovett had his office in that area. He did a wills for my wife and me in the 70s in that building before it burned. Yes, it did have a look of a hotel now that I think about it.. This will was written/signed 16 June 1972, so the fire was after that. As a matter of possible interest to someone, other signatures on the will are Annette Lovett and Sara Frank as witnesses and Notary Public, Lucille (Martin) Lollar. Lucille and her 5 brother grew up with the rest of us on Rose Hill. Her parents are Walter and Pearle Martin. Walter passed some years ago, but Lucille is taking care of Pearle. Funny, I just noticed, the packaging for the will and the envelope that is in has Jim D. Lovett, attorney at law Clarksville, Tx., but his name or signature is no where on the will itself. Yes, this building and the old victory house were definitely two different buildings. I see Lucille from time to time in Clarksville, I will ask her for some input with I see her next. She was secretary for him for many years including coming to Paris with him. She may have finally retire but not sure. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. I will be back to my long 3 days work starting in the morning and will give you guys a rest. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [TXREDRIV] The Hub > I really think the house was down the street more toward downtown where the > lawn has a high terrace.
