| "A
friend of ours grew up in Roby. Story goes locally that the time came for Fisher
County to build a new courthouse, maybe in the late sixties. What to do with the
old frame two story 1910 courthouse? It was cut apart and sold in two sections
and made into residences. My friend bet me I couldn't find them. I have photo'd
them and he confirmed that they were indeed parts of the old courthouse."
