Before continuing my thoughts from last week, let me update you on the Dec. 28 fire where I met the victim, Elmer Shults, and his family. Some of you may be familiar with the old frame house he and Ruby (Caughron) Shults had lived in for the past 30 years off Greasy Cove Road. It was on the former J. Donald Cody farm and was the house where Cody's wife, Eva Templin, was born. Johnnie Wilson, who is a Templin, refers to it as the Richard Templin home and believes it was at least 150 years old. The property is now owned by Charles Lewis Moore, and Elmer has been helping with the hay crop farming. I chatted with Kim Costner again on Thursday. She is a stepdaughter, married to Tim Costner and she is the daughter of Jay and Nola Ball. No one knows the cause of the fire that destroyed the 150-plus-year-old home. The Shults family is staying with Tim's sister, Josephine Williams, while Charles Lewis and other friends are trying to make arrangements for housing. I also learned there were other residents in the home who had to flee: The Shults' daughter, Angie and her husband, Tommy Barnes. Anyone who wishes to help the Shults family may contact Kim at 487-4382 or drop off items to Leann Gooderham at All Seasons Realty next to Sherry's Market.
