- ↑ from Jane Bazemore: "My aunt Allie (my mother's sister) lived in thehouse in Heflin where she was born (1908) and died. HER grandmother andgrandfather had bought the house after they came down South after theCivil War. So that house had been occupied by the family for about 130years. Now, they were wonderfully frugal folks as many people in thosedays had hard times off and on, and the women kept and recycledabsolutely EVERYTHING, I suppose. When a dress was worn out, they tookout the thread and wound it on a spool to use again and the dress wasmade into other things. The house was a veritable museum. When my auntretired at the age of 72, she spent an entire year going througheverything in the house and the barn and she got rid of a mountain ofstuff .... much of which I would have loved to keep, I'm sure, but shedidn't ask knowing that probably after her, folks wouldn't care so muchanymore .... not true in my case, but that's what she did. What wasleft still would constitute a veritable museum. Furthermore, it was alarge house that had been added on to on several occasions. I LOVEDthat house as that's where the happiest times of my childhood werespent. Before she passed away in 1996, my brother (who had gotten powerof attorney) had already let the house fall into serious disrepair(mainly the roof and one inner wall) and unfortunately he was unwillingto do anything to keep it up or maintain it. When she died, he sold itto the church across the street for a nominal sum and they were going totear it down. I suppose that they did, though I don't know for sure asI haven't gone back. I would not be able to look at an empty lot therewithout crying very hard. It was more than a lot for a house as therehad been a barn and a big pasture where my grandmother (Stelzer) hadkept a cow and chickens and had a garden. In addition to all thatstory, we had sitters who stayed with my aunt for several years aftershe fell and broke her arm. It's unbelievable that people could do sucha thing, but the sitters stole and stole and stole things out of thehouse .... many, many objects and finally one of them took all herjewelry which had been handed down in the family for severalgenerations, some made with pure gold that my great great grandfatherhad brought back from the California gold rush in '49. It made meabsolutely SICK but I was unable to get anything back. So .... when itwas time to leave the house, I did keep some of the furniture andcertain things; my sister-in-law took many things and distributed themto herself and her daughters before I could save them. What I DID keep(and she wasn't interested in) were all the photos and information-typethings that my aunt had so carefully preserved through the years. Ijust brought it all home to my very small house and left things in boxesuntil I could get to them."
