My dads childhood home, now belongs to my in-laws. I own all surrounding property and buildings behind.

This was my parents' home, built about 1960, the year before I was born. I lived there until I was 21. My Mother, Jane Davis Mitchell died in a farm tractor accident in 1991 at age 55. My Dad lived there until he moved to the NC Veterans Home in Salisbury. He died in 2019. And now my Nephew, Scott Mitchell's Mother and Father in law own the home. Scott's daughters are elated that they now have both sets of Grandparents close at hand!

Thank you, Susan, for sharing such a personal and touching story about your parents and their home. We hope our aerial photograph brought back fond memories for you. What were some of your favorite things about growing up in Alexander County? Have there been any significant changes to the area since the photo was taken in 1989?
