In the Vol.3 ,1911-1915 Searcy County Obit. book. Lun House.Jan. 11, 1913
Pioneer Citizen Dead.
The sad news of the death of "Uncle Lun" House, who resided near Baker, was received in Marshall, Wednesday, the Grim Reaper claiming him in the early part of the morning. He had passed the 98th mile stone, having been a resident of this county during and since the Civil War , and at the time of this death was making his home with is son James, near Baker. There are very few people in the county, old and young alike, quainted with him, and who are greived to learn of his death. He leaves a large concourse of sorring relatives and friends to mourn his demise. We extend sympathy to the bereaved family in this their hour of greatest sorrow.
From: The High Plains History 1980, High Plains Historical Press - Pg. 282 Francis Marion House was born February 3, 1839 in Arkansas. His parents were from Tennessee. Laura Ann Hamilton was born October 29, 1845 in Arkansas, and her parents were from Tennessee. In 1864, Francis was a soldier in the Civil War. His grandchildren treasure a letter he wrote to Laura, while he was stationed in Louisiana. He began the letter, “Dear Miss”. Francis and Laura married and lived in Arkansas for a while. In 1868, they decided to take their daughter, Virginia, and move to Roundrock, Texas. Their son, John, was born in their covered wagon in the Indian Territory. They continued their trip and settled in Williamson County, Texas. Their children in order of birth are: Virginia, John, Mary Penolia, Ada and Ida (twins), Thomas H. and James A. (twins), Fannie, Malinda, Laura Bland, Charles D., Josie M., and Edna A. This made four boys and nine girls. Sym (pronounced Sime), a black lady, helped Mrs. House with her large family. When Fannie was born, Mrs. House almost died. Sym was a wet nurse for the baby. Fannie’s daughter, Lucille Welch, said that her mother was always very fond of Sym. The House Family moved to Star, Texas where Mr. House built a drug store. A Dr. Fowler assisted in running it. Two years later, he sold the drug store to Dr. Fowler, and bought a farm at Center City. The place was across the creek and up on the hill west of town. The family moved there in 1903. The place is now known as J. W. Coffman’s. Houses were six miles from Goldthwaite. The Henry Welch’s lived across the creek from them. Later, Charlie Welch married Fannie House, and Riley Welch married Malinda House. Mr. House built a gin at Center City. He was instrumental in getting the Masonic Hall built, and securing its use for church services. John urged his parents to come to New Mexico and file on land. He was constructing a general store and post office building and was calling the place, House. The parents, with Jim and Josie, went out and all filed on land. They liked it so well that they sent for Charlie House, and Ada House and her husband, C. P. Jones to build them a home. They were living in one-room shacks on each of their places. When the new home was finished, all (except John) moved in with the parents. They grew a big orchard and garden. Jim furnished meat from his herd of cattle. They all were so happy. Sadness came when Mr. House became ill and wanted to go back to Mills County, Texas. They took him back and he died in a short time, on September 4, 1909, and was buried at the Hurst Ranch Cemetery at Star, Texas. Mrs. House returned to New Mexico with her son, Jim. They lived on her place until about 1920, when they returned to Mills County. She died on February 25, 1928 at the home of her son, Charlie, who had also returned to Texas. She was buried next to her husband in the Hurst Ranch Cemetery. The double tombstone has the inscription, “Resting in hope of a glorious resurrection”. by Verla Capps Robinson
