The moving of the old house owned by Claud Hessee from the Old Pharis lot north of Mrs. Hobbs' residence to a lot in the south part of town, recalls to the older citizens of Cassville, much interesting history of the early of the days of the town. The building is now the oldest in the the town. When built it was a farm house of Littleberry Mason, father of Mrs. C. C. Pharis and was a single room log house. Later additional rooms were built and still later the house was weather-boarded with pine. It was the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Mason; the farm including what is now much of Cassville. This house and the house now occupied by S. M. Trolinger are the oldest houses in Cassville and were erected long before the Civil War.
