This is the farm I grew up on. 304 Garriott Lane. Today all is gone except the garage/wash house. The tobacco barn burned first, then the milk barn....these arson was suspected. We had to sell the farm after Mom and Dad died. The second owner did a lot of work on the inside of the house. I now live in VA, but had returned to visit. The night before I had planned on going to see all the things they had improved, I got a call that the house was on fire. Broke my heart. I have an old fire`place cover that was from the fireplace in my bedroom. The owner saved it and gave it to me. Loved this farm. You can even see Daddy's fishing boat sitting in the yard beside the driveway.
