Photo 7-IBR-16

Comments

This house is on top of a large hill. My cousin, James Halford Poe, Jr, aka Jimmy, was killed here trying to push start a tractor. It came out of gear somehow and began rolling extremely fast. He steered the tractor away from his siblings at the bottom of the hill who were getting off the school bus. He went into the creek where the tractor flipped on top of him.
