Old Greathouse Family Home Article. This log residence, off Highway 68 on the old Polkville Road, was for fifty years the home of Miss Lois Greathouse, of Smiths Grove. Her grandfather purchased the property from John Gaines. The grandfather was Sidney A. Greathouse and Grandmother Josephine Strange Greathouse, a daughter of William Strange and his wife who was a Miss Davis. They bought the property in 1862 when the house was an unfinished one room log structure and added other rooms and an ell. After Lois Greathouse left the residence it was occupied by her brother and his family.
Sidney A., and Josephine Strange Greathouse had three children, Perry Andrew, Drillie B., and Joseph Edgar Greathouse.
Inside the house is typical of the times with hugh fireplace, closed stairway to upstairs bedrooms and wide plank floors. There is a pond nearby for stock and a family graveyard not far away.
Sidney A. Greathouse was a son of Samuel (1812-1881) and Mary Arnold Greathouse.
Samuel is buried on the Ernest Rector farm on the Polkville Road. The property is presently owned by Howard Pearson.
