 |
| Lewis Cornett (1866-1913) My Great Grandfather. He was killed by a falling tree during a storm. Some say he was out looking for Bear's Lettuce, a spring sallet that was dearly loved in the mountains. Granny had just given birth to my Uncle Frank and Daddy was about six years old. He was told not to tell granny right then. Of course he ran right into the house and told her! Granny dearly loved her daddy and she had had so many losses in her life. |

| Mama, Lizzie Halcomb Noe was born in the log cabin. At the time the kitchen was located on the rock in the foreground. Later the little brick siding house was built with a kitchen, living room and bedroom. Grandpa would not stay in the new house but spent his time in the log cabin or on the porch in good weather. The back bedroom of the log cabin was papered with newspapers. I spent many nights there as a child and loved the newspaper walls. |
