The home at the bottom left is where my aunt Opal and her husband, uncle Alb Evans lived. The one on the left was their newer home; and the one on the right was a black tar papered home they bought from my great uncle, Howard VanBebber. They lived in the little home until the late 70's. Uncle Albert loved the older home, and even after he built the new home, he would still sleep in his old home. It is now gone and the lumber recycled for the American chestnut boards it was built from. The field immediately to the right was my fathers field where I mostly remember raising tobacco every year growing up. All the wooded area belonged to my father. The home on the upper part of the picture was the home of Vina Like, and the farm around it was owned and tended by her son, James Like. You can just see a part of the roof to the home of my grandparents, William G Smith and Cora A VanBebber Smith. My Papaw Smith died in 1972 and my grandmother died in 1990.
