I don't remember all the names of the roads but when you turn off Hwy 45 to go to Idlewild, there was a small road on the right just before you get to the railroad. This road was lined with small houses which faced the railroad. I know Nick and Bertha James lived at the other end of this row of houses. If you went across the railroad, the road curved to the right and went in front of the store and post office. They also faced the railroad. If you turn left just before you reach the stores, that is Idlewild Hollyleaf Rd. This road goes by Idlewild Baptist Church & Pounds Cemetery. Also on this road is Powell Cemetery and Harmony Primitive Baptist Church and cemetery. My grandmother told me that she grew up across the road from Harmony Church and they would walk to Idlewild on Saturdays and catch the train to Bradford and spend the day and then come back.
