The Latimers migrated to Missouri before 1870 and the home often changed hands. Edmund Walden owned the house for a brief time, although he did not reside on the property. County Judge Charles C. Roberts (1856-1921) resided in the home with his family during his tenure as Judge. The building was adapted for use as a business in 2005.
