A Once in a Lifetime Online Estate Auction selling from an INCREDIBLE HISTORIC VICTORIAN MANSION in Independence Mo.

Session 2 of Several

We are extremely proud to offer you the contents of the Hughes-Childers Queen Anne Mansion in Independence Missouri!! This beautiful and historic home was built in 1887 on Main Street, just south of the downtown Independence Square. After being in the Hughes-Gregg family until the mid-1960s, the house was bought by Petey and Drusella Childers and their daughter Mary. Petey Childers was pharmacist to President Truman & Bess.  Petey & Drusella also attended the 1948 inauguration of President Truman. It was lovingly restored and furnished with period antiques over many years. Here is your chance to buy some of the nicest original antiques from this home. As many people in the area know, Drusella was sister to Hollywood Producer Paul Henning of The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres and Petticoat Junction fame. At one time or the other, different cast members visited this home in Independence. Mary still visits by phone, with cousin Linda Kay Henning who played Betty Jo Bradley for the entire run of Petticoat Junction. Mary, who shared the home with her parents, is a well-known educator in the Independence Missouri area. She founded the "Schoolhouse" in the 1960s and taught children until her retirement in the spring of this year at age 85!!! We encourage everyone to stop by our Auction location in midtown KC.
