Didn't want to hijack Larry's thread; I hate to see these old houses go; this'n is about a half mile from me and sits on an old lane several hundred yards from the county road. It was built in the 1870s by a war of northern agression veteran who moved here (West TN) from VA in 1873. Married the daughter of a family who owned the farm and they built the house; raised 5 boys and 2 girls in it; they were all born in the 19th century. The boys were quite prominent when grown; one was a minister, one a banker, 2 owned a general store; not sure about the other. The step-son of the last of the sons now owns it......about 100 acres. The house was occupied 'til sometime in the 1970s and I rented the farm for a long time before I retired. The house is of post-and-beam construction and the owner would probably give it to me if I'd move/restore it. Might've done it 20 years ago, but I'm too old and tired. Went down there last Summer and took some pictures; water's getting inside and it's just a matter of time..........

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
