When my father and I were building our house on River Rd Joe Burton delivered the sand needed to make the cement that we mixed by hand for the foundation. When we were digging a well we came upon a boulder and Joe Burton's dump truck pulled it out of the 10 ft deep hole. We went down 22 ft before we gave up and started a new one further from the house. In any case, Joe must have been a descendant or relative of the woman pictured. Our house was the first house on River Rd to have electricity. Two previous homes , Reynolds and Perry homes, did not and burned down many years ago. Since there were no homes on River Rd that were occupied in 1952 the electric company would not deliver electricity to a building site, only to a house already built. Thus we did everything with hand tools.
