    Above the village of Graseclose is an old building now used as a carriage and former stage house which was once the home of Jonathan Aker and a Roadside Inn of reputation. Andrew Jackson would make a point of stopping there on his trips through Smythe County, attracted by the excellent fare and also by the fine blooded horses that Mr. Aker kept.
    Old Hickory was a great lover of horse flesh and no doubt he and Jonathan Aker, who specialized in raising fine horses, found much in common.
