As a matter of interest, the home mentioned in the article still stands, albeit in bad shape, in the Lanark Community. The property is owned by Dub and Katie (Ederington) Roark. Several years ago a chain link fence was installed around the old log home to try to prevent further vandalism after several hewn logs used for interior walls were sawn out and removed by people to use as fireplace mantles.Could this possibly be the oldest building standing in its original location in Bradley County? I have been told the home was built in 1848-50. Baker Peebles >AR Gazette June 19, 1929, Warren, Jun 18 - Miss Carrie B.
