As a young boy my best friend was Lyvon (Von) who was their youngest son. The thing that still stands out in my mind was how Aunt Cora made me feel so welcome when I visited their home. Jonah inherited a large farm that contained three hundred acres of land when he was a young man. This is where they raised their family. It was located on the banks of the Rocky River, at the end of Army Road in New Salem, Union County, NC. In his later years Jonah became ill and was hospitalized and this left Aunt Cora and the children to run this big farm without him.
