Alonzo (Lon) Tapp was one of eight children born to Vincent J. and Myra J. Tapp. This was a time when large families were not unusual. Both his parents had been born in Alabama, but the family moved west and Lon had been born in Texas. By 1912 he had met and married Juanita Stafford, daughter of a popular Pittsburg sheriff, and was residing with his in-laws. Soon he built the house on North Avenue, and the family grew to include two girls, Vivian and Melba. The house on North Avenue changed hands several times after the Tapps moved to another home. But from 1919 until 2008, several generations of the Williams family - Annie, Mabel, P.H. and Velma - each in turn, called it home.
