Family History

Per US. Census records this home was built about 1912. It was owned by Esther Kaufman (1874-1956) for more than four decades. She and her first husband, Sigmond Kaufman, had the house built for them. Sigmond was a retail merchant who owned a clothing store with his father and brother called William Kaufman & Sons before buying them out on his own. The couple had no children.
Sigmond died in 1927, and Esther continued to live in the home alone until she married O.A. James sometime around 1929. O.A. James was a Marion County judge and twice ran for Congress.
