Thank you to Mrs. Sherry Boothe for sharing these photos and information!

The Killian House was built around 1871 by Jacob U. Ray and his wife L. E. Ray. The Killian House inherited it’s name due to the Killian family occupying the home for the longest period of time.
Sam Rolen and his wife Lizzie purchased the house in 1924. Sam was elected Justice of the Peace. During this time the railroad depot was located approximately a block from the house. Mr. Rolen was honored in performing marriages ceremonies for couples traveling through on the train.
The Killian House was also a boarding house, providing new people a place in town to stay.



Sherry can only afford this house because of my FIL!
