Is this rock foundation in Searcy AR talking to us? Did Thurman Weir have fun!!

We've listed a house in Searcy Arkansas that has a rock and brick front. The front is rock that looks to be the type house built by a man named Silas Owens who built houses with a delightful combination of native stone and brick. Here's an example of the mixed masonry style and a picture of the newly listed house.

The back of the house has the name of perhaps the owner. It has " By Thurman Weir March 11 50" in the masonry.

But when we explored the side of the foundation we wondered if Mr. Weir was still talking to us. Look at the letters in the foundation on the side.

You can just keep finding letters in the design. Was he putting his or his children's names in the design or is it all just my imagination. W R A V H Y?

It's for sale! $70,000 with a vacant corner lot included!!

And Searcy Sleuths, who was Mr. Weir?
