One of the first occupants of this house was Ernest Roper and wife Elizabeth. Mrs. Beulah Morgan, longtime neighborhood resident, remembers that Mr. Roper worked for a cleaning company and later owned Superior Cleaning Company. He would come home at lunch every day and play the piano while Mrs. Morgan listened from her porch across the street. He also played for street dances held in downtown Hendersonville. The Ropers may have been the original owners of the house, but were no longer living there after 1938. Benjamin Levi lived there from 1939 to 1940; Jack W. and Georgene D. Lyday lived there from 1941 to 1944 . Mrs. Sue M. Farr, widow of Thomas Farr, lived there from 1945 to 1949. From 1950 to 1951 John B.
