The Gilbert Place
George Worsham (1817-1891)  & Nancy B. ALMON (1822-1894) first lived in a home built by his father, to the left of the Almon Cemetery on Byler Rd.  In 1872 they bought the 314 acre farm known as the "Gilbert Place",( for $3,200) which was about 1 mile further on Byler Rd. southwest of Moulton.  This home remained in the family until after 1936, when it was torn down. Their grandson, Thomas Franklin ALMON (1877-1935) was the last Almon to live there.  His son Collins Denny ALMON  was the last Almon born there on March 19, 1917
