I am in posession of a family diary that describes a house in Palymra, built by my GG Grandfather, William Russell Anderson. He was a lawyer as was his father, Thomas Lilbourne Anderson. I believe the house was built around 1855. The house is described as follows. 3 story, brick, set in the middle of the yard. 13 rooms. 2 story porch across front and back. 2 basements, one for vegetables and one for meat. Fireplaces in most rooms. The fireplace in the parlor was faced in olive wood which was imported from the "Holy Land". During the Civil War, this house was occupied by the Union, possibly as a field hospital. The soldiers took pot shots at the fireplace and peppered the facing with bullet holes. There was a widows walk where they watched the boats sail down the Mississippi. In the back yard, there was a separate building large enough to house a horse & buggy with a few extra rooms for slaves. The family is listed on the 1910 census, but I am unable to determine from that exactly where this house is located. I want to know if the house is still standing and possibly, the address as I plan to visit Missouri and would like to look at it. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
