Do you have a hearing loss? Or is it just wax buildup?

In September 2008, married couple Billy and Renae Jackson bought their home on the Bell’s Highway.

It’s hard to miss home when driving on Bell’s Highway. Between the large open fields that used to house cotton, sits a grand two story home, full of memories, various modifications made throughout the years, and of course, a lovely home for a local family.

The couple bought more than a roof over their head. They had also managed to buy a historic house without a name.

The house was built in 1886, by a John W. McClease, a man who was mayor of Brownsville from 1920-1924.

At one point, the house served as a restaurant, Billy noted, with an additional area in the back being built for use as a kitchen.

With perhaps, a multitude of tales attached to the home; it would probably seem strange that the home has gone so long with a name.

At least, that would have been the case until earlier this month.

Sunday, October 2, the

Jackson’s held a special family reunion. Although they expected family, the Jackson’s were surprised at the number of members that did show up.

“We had about 115 at the reunion,” Renae recalled.

“We had family from Illinois, Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, North Carolina, just all over come to the reunion,” Billy said.

While fellowship between family was great, it was only a small reason to the large gathering.

The Jacksons had planned on honoring two people dear to them while at the same time adding some more history to the home.

The Jackson’s decided to name the home with Billy’s mother’s name, Aileen and Renae’s mother’s name Rose Marie.

The house is now adorned with a special sign that reads “Rosailiene.”

The name may not have been an extreme modification to the home such as another wing, or new roof, but no one can deny that the Jackson’s have left their own mark on the house.
