 | | Should the reader not be aware of the fact, Grandma Ursula Block and two of her sisters, Louisa Smith and Lorne Jane Smith, married three Block brothers, all ex-Confederate soldiers, respectively, Albert, Charles, and George Lewis Block. |
 | | When Grandma Block lived in the old place, the 1½ story house had only four rooms downstairs, divided by a hall or "dog trot" in the middle, a typical frontier East Texas house with a large upstairs bedroom, and a long gallery on the Neches River side. |
 | | The house was built upon round cypress blocks, 2 to 3 wide, and cut from the trunk of the tree. |
