REF: Early Days in Danville by Calvin Morgan Fackler; 1941. p. 212 - McDowell Park, The Old Graveyard, was originally the burying ground of the "Old First" Presbyterian church. In the northwest division Philip Yeiser, Sr. occupies a more lowly abode than the beautiful one he once builded himself. It is on a line between th Confederate and McDowell monuments, about half way. He was brought here after July, 3, 1833. If cholera carried him off, then it was a rather useless gesture on the part of death, for he was past seventy-eight. Philip Sr. came to Danville in the 1790's. He was largely interested in tanning. The Yeiser home was the first attempt at a mansion in Danville.

The document is accompanied by a one page Notary Public testimony given by C.C. Dean the 21st day of October 1885 in Little Rock, Pulaski, Arkansas.

6) Beverly G. Yeiser, Sr. Corresondence 17 Jan. 1998. Following
article was included regarding the house that Philip Yeiser built.
"The Philip Yeiser home was the first ambitious attempt at
a mansion, here (Danville, KY. SJFG) This old place which, once
in ever so often, someone calls "Christopher Greenup house,"
is that beautiful colonial at the head of Second Street. Mr. Philip
Yeiser, Sr., who was largely interested in tanning, came to Danville
in the 1790's. He bought a tract from John Crow in 1795. Unfortunately
the sheet containing the body of the deed is missing from the
records. As it doesn't seem to have been either cut or torn out,
it was probably omitted when the sheets were rebound at some time.
We have it properly indexed, and the acknowledgment shown on page
7, but nothing else. So not until John Yeiser, the son who inherited
it, conveyed to Thomas Proctor, do we get the description, which
shows that the tract ran from our present Third Street with the
north side (as now) of Lexington Avenue. It formed an almost perfect
parallelogram, excepting the nipped off southeast corner, at Nichols'
ropewalk, and the elongated one upon the northeast. All Danville
above Lexington Avenuie (which was not opened until long after)
and east of Third once formed a part of the Yeiser farm.
1840-1860 Construction Period
Some of our best residences were constructed between 1840 and
1860. Then the Philip Yeiser farm was divided among the heirs
of Thomas Proctor who had obtained it from John Yeiser. Philip
Yeiser, the master of beautiful Yeiser
house, was certainly here in 1794, which year he bought his first
real estate."
