Source of Cemetery Information: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/montgomery/cemeteries/powers.t xt 1840 receipt signed by J. H. Marable, original in the possession of Madolyn Vickers; B. C. Powers family bible; copy of the 1841 Marriage License; 1881 and 1887 newspaper obituaries; U. S. Census 1820 through 1880, abstracted by Iva Coffman. Barnabas and his father rented land from J. H. Marable. Barnabas bought the first parcel of land in 1840. In the year following his father's death he built the house. The house stood for the next 100 years and parts of it still stand. There is evidence in the structure of the original log section of many months of preparation. Thousands of carefully cut and carved wooden pegs are now exposed between the logs. These held the mortar in place. Many hand made nails were used, clearly saying long winter nights were spent working and planning before realizing their ambitions. Clustered around the house were buildings which included a loom house, for weaving; a potato house, for storing root vegetables; a smoke house for curing hams and bacon; a wash house, for laundry; a smith, for shoeing horses and repairing equipment; and a springhouse, for keeping milk and butter fresh. For twenty years he was a member of McCulloch Lodge No. 189 F. and A.M. He and Susan were devoted members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and reared their five children as respected members of the community. The children were Wiley, Bettie, Bobbie, Wilse and Dora. Barney, as he was known by his friends, died the 11th of June, 1881, followed by Susan, October 12, 1887. They were buried in the family plot up on the hill above the home place. It is a lovely spot and well cared for today. (Sources: 1840 receipt signed by J. H.
