Simmons' heirs would later sell the ground to Henry J. Craycroft. Craycroft would later sell it to Wesley Phelps. Phelps then sold the tract to Joseph Collier. This was the northernmost 40 feet of lot 25. Collier next sold the lot and house to Harriet Travis, whose heirs then sold it to Sarah J. Ridgway. Sarah would next sell the lot to Nancy L. Crist.

Nancy would later enter into an arrangement with R. J. Meyler in which she deeded her part of lot 25 to him, and he deeded his part of lots 55 & 56 to her, with some money changing hands.

On 8 Apr 1884, to satisfy a debt owed by Meyler's estate to Robert Shanklin, his part of lot 25 was sold by the sheriff and purchased by Wesley Phelps. Then on 11 July 1888, Phelps sold it to J. E. Weller. Weller sold it on 28 May 1890 to W. A. Rouse. That same day, Rouse sold it to E. W. Hall.

Then on 13 Aug 1890, Hall sold it to W. M. Hume as shown below. Then on 4 Mar 1891, Hume sold it to the trustees of the Methodist Church parsonage.
