In 1883 Annie Meyer Kux, the young wife of a New Orleans jeweler moved to Pass Christian with her ailing baby because her doctor suggested the salty, pine air might "bring her around." (It did, for 88 years!). In 1885 she purchased a two room and porch Cajun cottage located on 12 acres of land, and soon her husband, William, joined his family and opened a jewelry shop in Pass Christian. He eventually turned to fanning and animal husbandry: raising vegetables, especially the "long red radishes” that were so popular in the northern states: cows for milk and cheese and sheep for wool for clothing. Pecan trees were planted ever 50 feet on the 12-acre and fruit tress between the pecan trees. As the family grew rooms were added and a detached kitchen was built.
