This was my great aunt Virginia (virgie)Martin Hilman's farm, Greenhouse and country store, ,,located on old Rt.23 in the Siloam area, she and her husband my great uncle,,the late William (Bill)
Hilman and there son Bill (Red) Hilman
Worked the farm for many years, ,in the late 60's uncle Bill died from diabetes
Aunt Virgie and Red continued the business until Red's death in the late 80's,,,aunt Virgie lived another few years until the Lord called her home in the early 90's,,,I had a lot of great memories as a young boy visiting aunt Virgie with my mammaw Norsie (Martin)Hardin,,,my mammaw and Pappaw's farm(HARDIN'S GREENHOUSE & MARKET was maybe 1/4 mile from aunt Virgie's farm
One thing that I'll always remember is how clean aunt Virgie's yard was,,she would actually SWEEP her front & side yard, and believe me,, there wasn't a leaf,walnut or piece of gravel from the driveway in her yard,,, aunt Virgie was a beautiful women inside and out,,,
