During a break in today’s work, we were visited by two of our neighbors, Miriam and Priscilla. They were very nice and very eager to welcome us to the neighborhood.
Miriam, 84, is the granddaughter of J.W. Pitts, who originally built our house. She loves to tell stories, which entertain both herself and all who are listening.
According to Miriam, J.W. Pitts was a very successful farmer and built the house for his uncle, Julius Pitts. Julius, who lived in our house, was a doctor and a minister.
In the photo above, Andi shows Miriam a picture and some newspaper clippings from 1944 that were found in the attic.
