Hatch and Kearsley descendants reflect on 100-year history of Victor houseÂ
Sometimes the best part of publishing an article in the newspaper is the ensuing conversation. I knew Iâd hear about the front page story âOld Kearsley house is slated for demolitionâ but didnât expect the treasure trove of knowledge and historical materials that would surface as a result.
First, itâs important to note that I didnât get the facts right on the stone house in Victor during my preliminary research. After the paper came out I learned from Nita Kearsley Hunter, who grew up in the house and has extensive knowledge of her ancestors, that it was built earlier than records indicated, in 1918-19 by Carlos Marion Hatch, a very well-known figure in the valley and in eastern Idaho.
