Edgar D. Yoder (1874-1952) was the son of Amzi A. Yoder, an early settler in Hickory and owner of most of the land in this block. Edgar was employed by a number of local concerns and was a former salesman and manager of Home Stores. His wife was the former Bettie Brook Holden (1884 1945). In 1905 Edgar purchased this lot from his father for $400, and lived here until he had a second house built in the early 1920s two lots to the north. The house was subsequently owned by T.J. and Beatrice Phillips (1923); John H.P. Cilley (1924); Jay J. and Lea W. Dell (1943); Pauline D. Walker (1962); and Dr. Auburn L. Poovey (1964).
