Original Glender farmhouse. This home may have been built as early as 1856 by the William Beatty family. It was known as the "Smith house" when the Glenders purchased it between 1905 and 1910, and may have been owned by Green Berry Smith in the late ISOOs. The peak of the house roof can be seen in the watercolor painti of early Tampico (Appendix A). Caption as printed, p. 112.
After the fire. Will Glender was burning gift wrapping paper in the fireplace the Sunday morning after Christmas in 1920 when the flue caught fire and burned the house down. While recounting the event in later times he always observed that if he'd "gone to church that morning, as I was supposed to do," the fire would have never taken place. Photo by Laura Glender. Caption as printed, p. 112.
