This was the home of Jim French and family for many years. It was likely built in the 1890s or early 1900s.

This was my grandparents (Ted and Willette French) home from the late 60’s until 2003. My dad and uncle occupied the house as children and teenagers. They sold it in 2003 when they moved in with parents in Augusta Ga.
When we lived in Richland and Americus I spent a ton of time there. Great memories.
My great grandfather’s house! My Mom, Martha Louise French, spent much time there. My grandfather, Bernard Crimes French, managed the local mercantile store. I plan on visiting Richland in April and spreading some of my Mom’s ashes there.

It is a great old house… We have been updating for 14 years… Was VERY run down when we purchased the property… Time and money do not always go hand in hand though… Peggy Wilson, current owner…
My great grandfather was James E French and his son, Bernard Crimes French was my grandfather. My sister and I would like to spread some of Mom’s (Martha Louise French) ashes in Richland this Spring since she spent many happy years in this house with her parents and grandparents. I know this may seem like an odd request, but would it be OK to spread some of her ashes in your yard?

When I first married we rented the up stairs was a wonderful home
This is when I wished I was rich……
Any plans for updating?
I don’t know, but certainly hope so. It’s a great old house.
