"This image is from 1938 I think, as it shows my father holding a horse in front of the old office building, which my grandparents used as a home from 1921 till 1939, when they moved permanently to Dyersburg. That would put my father at about age 17. There is someone sitting up on the porch, holding a child with a dog standng in front of them too. I imagine that would be my grandmother, but I haven't been able to zoom in well enough to know for sure. Note how high the structure is off the ground. This allowed it to be occupied during the yearly floods. I remember my father showing this building to me as a child in the 1960's as well as another structure. He also explained how the village was laid out,which by that time was mostly gone. I remember him talking about the ark(?) a road where gambling houses and such had been, which after my grandfather took over had been razed and ploughed over. My father told me they would often find coins out there when plowing or after a rain. All that now remains are a concrete vault that was inside the office building and the old millworks which consist of concrete boiling vats and brick furnaces."
