Interesting item, but the chain of ownership described in the article doesn't make sense.

According to the article, the farmhouse had been owned since the Civil War by the Skinner family. The writer then immediately contradicts himself by bringing in a different "former owner", now dead. The article also doesn't make clear who gets the hamburger -- the dead woman or Lavinia Skinner.

Oh, well.

It makes sense. The article said it was in the "family of former Memphian R. William 'Bill' Skinner," not the "Skinner family." Thelma Rawlins, "the home's former owner" could still be related to him (Skinner's mother could have been a Rawlins, or something like that).
