From Bella Vista newspaper (by Mrs. Andrew Pringle, before 1935): "When you are bored to extinction with the dusty highway just turn at the railroad track and drive slowly west until you reach a lovely home, pure white, nestling among the trees. If the "Lover's Lane" isn't all your fancy painted it, why you're hopeless that's all. If you are acquainted with the Sisson family, father, mother, and two deightful daughters then you are doubly fortunate as they are grand entertainers and always have a freezer full of ice cream. Yes, cream, at least they have had everytime we've ever been there."
From August 22, 1912 newspaper: F. E. Sisson is building an auto barn.
