M. Davis, Jr. (Typed by Barbara Shore) WAYSIDE In the early 19th century,k only a few homesteads were in the vicinity of what is=20 now Wayside. There was the old Ben WOODALL place, on the site of what is=20 now the J.N. SMITH home; the old FINNEY homestead located right back of=20 what is now J.D. WOOD=92s home; and the old BARFIELD home built on the site=20 of the home now occupied by Mr. & Mrs. Tony SWEDA. All of these original=20 homesteads were destroyed by fire. Wayside has had three names. It first went by the undignified name of Lousy= =20 Level; the second was a little better, being Black Ankle; and the present name=20 came into being near the time the RR came through in the early 1880s. The next home to be built in Wayside was the Tom GREEN home, built on the=20 site of what is now the H.B. DAVIS home. Mr. GREEN also built a blacksmith=20 shop adjacent to his home. Early families were: CARSONS, FINNEYS, HOLMES, BROWNS,=20 STEWARTS, SMITHS, BARFIELDS, CHILDS, GREENS, Billy GEORGE,=20 WOODALLS, and TICKNORS. Later were the WHITEHEADS, RUSSELLS,=20 DAVIS, WOODS, CHILDS, GORDONS, BILDERBACKS, POUNDS,=20 STANFORDS, WILLLIAMSONS, and BUSHS. In the latter part of the 19th century, an Academy stood at Wayside called the=20 Planter=92s Academy. This was located back of where the Joe BILDERBACKS=20 now live. The large spring that supplied the water for the school is at the bottom=20 of the hill and is known as Academy Sprint. It now supplies water for the G.M.=20 Canning Co. The trustees for the school were Buck FINNE
