In memory of Aime Amant Vuille who was born in 1797 in top of the Swiss Alps. He came to America in 1836 and built this settlement house in Valles Mines, St. Francois Co.
After the emancipation of slaves, he sold his 400 acre farm to his nephew, Salim Grandjean who built a big new house and used this original cabin for his "workshop" as he was a wagon-maker/gold miner.
