Me standing at a little dam the WPA built on Little Greenleaf creek
10-12-1996
This place is about 1/2 mile West of Sanders Corner. I didn't know it
at the time, but this little dam is located just a few hundred yards West
of where my grandpa James Louis Dazley had a place. He rented it out to
Frank Hinds and family. They are kin to me too. Daisy Hinds Cunningham,
my cousin, told me about it.
Old foundation rocks at old James Louis Dazley property 12-5-1999
I found a few of the old rocks from the foundation in 12-1998 but didn't
have any film left to take a picture so had to wait a whole year to get
back in there and take a picture. The old house was what they called a
"box house" with just outside walls. Daisy Hinds lived in it with her dad,
Frank Hinds, her mom, Addie James Hinds and the rest of the family. Oh
yes, she said her grandma Mary Baufman Hinds lived with them too after
William died. They all lived on the old Hinds place (10 acres) when he
died I think. Her little brother Arvil and Floyd died at the old place
too I think.
Little Greenleaf creek behind the old Dazley place
Little Greenleaf creek can be seen from the old homeplace. This area
is just Northeast of the little dam where I am standing in the picture
at top of page. Frank Hinds and family sharecropped the place (several
acres) for my grandpa James Louis Dazley. He owned property on both sides of
the creek. Daisy said the soil was really good for growing and raising
crops.
