  BIOGRAPHY: http://oceanspringsarchives.net/node/73 Youkey-Joachim house The Frank Joachim home is extant at present day 1208 Porter Avenue. It is situated on Lot 8 and a part of Lot 7 in Block 2 of the H.F. Russell Subdivision. John K. Youkey (1848-1922), the builder, and family came to Ocean Springs from Cottage Hill, Florida in October 1911. Initially they rented the Meyers? cottage on Church Street. The Meyer?s cottage, now owned by Laura Ederer Bolton, is more familiarly known to today?s older generation as the Scharr house.(The Ocean Springs News, October 7, 1911, p. 5) In late December 1911, Mr. J.K. Youkey acquired several lots in Block 2 of the Russell Subdivision fronting on Porter Avenue from H.F. Russell. Consideration for the parcels was $350. It is assumed the Youkey?s erected their home here in 1912.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 37, p. 525) Mr. Youkey was a native of Ohio. He married Helen M. Douglass (1856-1928), an Indiana lassie, and the daughter of Jackson Douglas and Mary Lee. Youkey was a War of the Rebellion veteran having served with Co. H of the 135th Indiana Infantry.(Bradford O?Keefe Burial Bk. 17, p. 39) Frank Joachim acquired the Youkey house from Walter G. Armstrong (1878-1945) in May 1944. It is believed that Mr. Joachim had been in New Orleans since the collapse of his automobile business at Ocean Springs, during the Depression.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 85, pp. 378-379) The Heirs of B.F. Joachim Jr. conveyed their parents? home to Neil H. Ballard (1920-1984) in July 1971.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 410, p. 528 and JXCO, Ms. Chancery Court Cause No. 17286)
