I lived in this house in the late 50′s. Cousin Henry was married to my first cousin Paralee Grubbs Hardage. Breaks my heart to see it in this shape.
Mr. Henry Hardage and family were the earliest and primary occupants of this house until the early 50′s. Mr. Henry Hardage was the ice man and delivered chunks of ice two or three times a week to those families who had ice boxes rather than refrigerators as my family did. Tonty May Hardage Willis, a neice of Mr. Henry Hardage, came into possession of the house. Ms. Viola Patti was her sister and did live there for a good length of time.
I’m researching my grandfather’s side of my family. His name was Fred L. Barrow , his parents were John Wallace Barrow & his mother was Georgianna Martin ( maiden name). Fred was born in Poulan in 1886, so if anyone has any info, feel free to leave me a message. Thanks! I’ve looked on ancestry.com but with no luck, yet. I’ve found lots of info on my grandmother’s family but not Fred’s.
If the ole’ walls could talk in this house. Great picture!
I found out some additional information through my grandmother about this house. It was owned by the Hardages, which was Mrs. Viola Patte’s family. Viola was once the mayor and ran city hall. She was a very friendly lady and always sat on the porch and waved at everyone. She recently passed away, back in August.
The Pattee family lived there for years. Unfortunately, they let it get into disrepair. I wish that somebody could restore it to it’s former glory.
I’ll change the title of the photograph to reflect your information, Ashley. Thanks!
The last I heard, this home was owned by the Patty family. My best friend lived here for many years. It is wonderful inside as well.
–one more great shot–this house is something–I like old places in the country–guess it is because I grew up in the woods.
