[ Note: Grover and Dora purchased from the D. K. Udall estate, the "Old Home" in St. Johns which has since been remodeled and a modern auto court added. The "Elm Hotel," as the place is now known, derives its name from the beautiful elm tree planted by father in 1887. It is a source of satisfaction to all the relatives to have this property remain in the family, as to us it will always be "Home Sweet Home." ]
