Inscription. Colonel Joseph D. Eads (1817~1899) settled in Leake County in 1843. An attorney, Eads practiced law in Carthage for fifty three years and kept records of all county land transactions. This house, built ca. 1860, was sold to Joseph Mansell in 1905. Mansell's widow Amanda owned the property until her death in 1948. Her daughter, Lillie Mae Mansell, married Gus Sudduth. The house remained in the Sudduth family until 2016, when it was donated to the Dancing Rabbit Genealogical and Historical Society.
