Residence of my Uncle Jim and Aunt Manna Harris Dinwiddie. They built the home. Jim came in and sat down in a rocking chair in the living room and Manna was in the kitchen when she heard a thud on the wooden floor. Jim's foot had fallen from the rung of the chair when he had a fatal heart attack. Their daughter Novice had just died about a year before. Manna never drove a car. I can remember as a young boy going to the house and there was always a biscuit in the wood stove warming closet for me. She never used self rising floor and I thought the "soda" biscuits were so much tastier the her sisters (my mother). The farm remained in the Dinwiddie family for 30 years after Manna's death before being sold to Pellie Graves.
