Allie and Vera Kirk Home. Located about a mile south of Crayne on Hwy. 641. Their son, Maurie Huston Kirk, told me this house was built in 1941. The basement was built with a team of mules and a scraper. They mixed the concrete there at the house site and poured it.
Vera died in 1995 and Allie continued to live in their family home until he passed away in 2001 at the age of 99.
The house sat empty until the summer of 2009 when Houston and Virginia's grandson, Matthew Systo moved into the house. The home once again has family members occupying it's once empty rooms. It's always good to see family members taking care of their old homeplace.
