Hello,
I found out a few things about the house. Deloris Acton Galvin and her husband Floyd,
raised their three children in that house. Before that it was owned by Deloris parents
Chester and Emma Agnes(Sallee) Acton. Chester's parents were Thomas and Mary Ann
(Swope) Acton. Mary Ann's
parents were William Peter and Elizabeth (Shirley) Swope. In the 1878 Atlas it shows a
house there on William P. Swopes farm. In the 1865 Atlas there
was no house the property was owned by a Dale, and I believe it was Elizabeth (Shirley)
Swopes grandparents. Deloris remembers there being a log cabin on the Northeast corner of
the present home. I still haven't put a time on the building of this home.
William P. and Elizabeth Swope are buried at Old Union Cemetery. William P. was in the
Civil War with the Indiana Volunteers Co. F 40 Reg. I'll keep digging.
