Thanks sal! Very interesting to me! But I'm a little confused. Was the Ardis bldg on Milam? Or was it at the corner of caddo and commerce? (as described in the picture) Was the Johnson bldg and Ardis bldg the same? The picture doesn't look much like today's Johnson bldg. Thank you for any clarification. I'm guessing these are two different buildings. Was the Johnson bldg always called that?

I will continue looking for a photo of CH Ardis. As much of a big wig as he was at that time, I would imagine that some pictures taken of him. Maybe in the Noel Library? I'm also searching geneology.com and ancestry.com etc..

I have always enjoyed local history, but now even more as I combine it with my geneology efforts. On my other side of the family, I have a great grandfather who helped start several churches in our area. Thanks to this thread, I now know this was true on both sides of my family!
