This dining set was left in the house when the Sumners purchased it in
1964 and is thought to have been used by the original occupants, Milton
and Myra Card.
Zora threw herself into local life, joining the Woman’s Club
and the Democratic Executive Committee.
Her circus life may have been a dim memory, but her love
of animals remained, and the Alispaws even nursed a baby
elephant that they kept in their backyard. After that the locals
called their home “the elephant house.”
In 1934, the newspaper published a story she wrote about
her dog, a black Skye terrier that befriended a lion cub the
couple had raised during their circus days.
She died on Nov. 11, 1936, after months of illness.

The Sumners have placed lion statuary in their yard as a tribute to Zora, the
circus performer who once owned the house.
