The house has tremendous family history. Built by Walker Williams in the early 199's and used by Edna to raise her family.
Once upon a time, before air conditioning and television, people built and used porches as extensions of their homes. A generous porch was a place to relax and visit with neighbors and friends. Today it is rare to see anyone even with a porch, much less using one. Aunt Ed had a great porch.
The porch swing on Aunt Edna's porch has provided many a place to relax and enjoy Edna or Kenneth's company when they stopped by. Kenneth was Edna's son who passed away only recently. He is indeed missed by all who knew him.
Updated now, just inside this kitchen door once was a wood cookstove that baked the most wonderful biscuits and other tasty foods. Screen doors serve many purposes besides keeping pesky bugs out, they also let the delicious smells of cooking foods out. If you have you ever smelled cornbread baking in a wood fired oven you won't forget it.
Looking off the creek bank onto Dunn's Creek you have to notice the giant cedar tree growing right at the edge of the bank, stabilizing it with its roots. There is a deep spot to cool of just below this tree.
Now it's purpose is something else; it serves as a shed but once this little building was essential. Everyone had one and they were everywhere. Now most are gone. It's these bits of history still around that remind us of our heritage, our history... of times now long gone but not forgotten.
