There is only one house that is at the spot where Second Avenue
't-bones' Vine Street, that is the one.....I do not remember if it is
painted or a concrete block, or what.....

>>>Well, we didn't get to know him either Charlie. He was my great grandfather. He worked for some 20 years plus for the government on Locks and Dams. He was born and raised in Gallipolis, his father was Christopher Columbus Arthur and his mother was Mary Ann Clark. My great grandfather went by his middle name Sherman, and I was told he had a fondness for a homemade corncob pipe (which did him in later with throat cancer). I have forgotten the name of a man I spoke with on the phone some years ago when I first visited Gallipolis. He said Sherman was the only man his mother trusted him and his friends to and use to take them fishing out on the "ice breakers" (or something like that) and he mentioned the pipe also. Sherman left Gallia at one point and traveled for his job. He lived in Ravenswood, Paducha (sp?) Ky, and Grand Chain, where he retired, and then returned to Gallipolis. He died in November 1938, his wife Ella R Cooper died in September of 1945, she also was born and!

"Sherman" Arthur (died in 1938) and his wife Ella (Cooper). His address was 2nd and Vine. The old gentleman, whose name eludes me now (he and his wife started the William Ann Motel) told me it was the brick house at the end where the main street "T"s. I noticed one old one of brick, cement block actually, on the left of the street with a portch. Then there is a white painted brick house with very old original glass I noticed. Most of you in the older set would have been kids, but thought I'd take a shot.
