This was the home of Enos Mast (1860-1946) in the 1910s to about 1930. Enos was a farmer and auctioneer. Sometime after his first wife, Lona, died in 1909, Enos quit farming, moved from the farm and purchased this home in town. He married his second wife, May Davis, in 1918, and continued his career as an auctioneer. He also took a job as janitor for the town’s court house.
