Embracing Local History: Part 103 – THE CAPTAIN HARRI

The Dr. John Burton family sold the Capt. Harris mansion in Kirksville on February 7, 1895, and moved to California. The buyer was Dr. Adonijah Washington (A. W.) Parrish (1851-1928) who paid $5,000 for this house and approximately one acre of land. This was considerably more than the Burtons had paid for it in 1879 which was $1,800.
