The Home Place
April 23rd, 2002 by Larry Burton
I’ve been showing you the houses that I’m buying and selling so I thought I might also show you where my roots are. This farmhouse is now used for storage but it was the home of a family with nine children once. One of those children was my mother. I spent a lot of time there when I was a child with my aunt and uncles. At the time they were still living in this house. I learned to milk cows and plow behind a mule there.
About thirty years ago they built a better house next to this one and then moved this one about a hundred yards away. The front porch was removed in the move and the stone chimneys were lost. As an adult looking back on the house I remember as a child it appears the house has shrunk a good deal also.
