Thanks for the info. The time period I'm looking for would be between sometime between 1910 and 1920. Do you recall how far away Tyvola Road is from Statesville Road? As I remember, Beatties Ford Road was the next road over from Statesville Road, but I don't recall where Tyvola Road is. Tyvola Road may have been too far away????
