Allred married two sisters, Mary K. and Sarah E. Bunnell, and the household was divided between this house and the house directly to the south. J. F. Allred was born in Iowa: in 1851. In 1873 he came to Spring City! and taught school for three years. After two years absence, he returned to his pedagogical activity in 1878 and continued in this endeavor for most of his life. He was school principal also and did most of this teaching in the "Old Rock School House" ("Endowment House"). ! This lot was deeded in 1870 to George D. Robinson. In 1871, Robinson ;sold to Sarah Eroadbent for $75-00. Sarah, in turn, sold to Wiley P. Allred in 1875 for $125.00. In 1878, John Frank Allred bought the lot for $235.00. The stone house could have been built between 1875-1878. (See A6 p. 15) Most likely, however, John Frank Allred constructed the house soon after the 1878 purchase date. - |
