Tobe and his wife lived and occupied the Marshall Taylor farm for years. It was on Rock Creek and is better known as the ?? Smith farm. The Rock Creek Cemetery is on this farm. The Hill children are - Newt, Mary, Mrs. Denning, Elic (Alec) who married a Miss Young, Lizzie, Robert, Annie, Ed (better known as Coon) married Bost, Walter and Hardin who never married. The Hills and Waldens were settled here in the 1870's. All of the Walden family that I remember is the old gentleman known as Uncle Tom, his wife, one girl a Mrs. Young and two boys, Harry and Lee. The Walden and Denning families are related. These two families lived here and helped to build this community to a better place for all. May this progress be remembered. They are ver desirabel neighbors and friends. Lee Walden married a Henderson, Harry was married to Miss Minnie Morrison, she is here also and is one of our very best women.
