E.D.L. Tims arrived in Mansfield in the 1870s. His first home was east of the school grounds on Church Street. The house was then occupied by the Clark family, then the Bowerman family. J.C. and Bettie (Ragland) Talley bought the house from the Bowermans in 1915 and had it remodeled with Ward Bratton as the contractor. H.P. Spears bought the house in 1931, tore it down and had a new house built from the lumber.
