The white building most clearly shown here is the Church of Christ building, built in the 1950s and still active as of 2022. There is also a house inside the trees to the left where my Great Grandparents lived at the time this photograph was taken. After their passing, my Grandparents lived in the house and later my parents moved into the home. My Mother recently passed, so only my Dad lives there now and I live in a home just to the left of the property where I am close and can help take care of my Dad. Several tornadoes have passed close by through the years, taking many of the beautiful trees, including several fruit trees, and also the big barn. The land to the north was cleared of trees for farming and a pond was also dug for water control on the side hill. There are also other houses that have been built to the right and on the hill.
