Peter and Jessie Huntsman were living and farming in Fillmore by 1870, and in 1880, Peter was a local sheriff. The Huntsmans sold the house to Thomas Callister in 1887 who lived in Fillmore during the 1870s and 1880s. When William Payne bought the house in 1891, he made substantial changes including a kitchen on the south side. The house was then purchased in 1912 by Earl L. Veile, by Vernell Christopherson in 1932, and by Vera Frampton in 1937. Vera Frampton, a widow and school librarian, bought the house in 1937 and converted the home into three apartments. Cathryn and Dallin Nielsen, after having lived in one of the apartments, purchased the home from Vera Frampton in 1959 and began converting the home back to a single family residence. Mrs. Nielsen continues to live here and enjoy the qualities of this early pioneer home that has retained its integrity and historic association with Fillmore's beginnings. 9 Interviews with older, local residents.
