Linda Cash Saleeby: My Grandfather, D. L. Smith, built this home around 1912. They moved to town so my mother, Mary Belle Smith (Cash), could attend school in Chesterfield. My mother was born in 1906. My Grandfather built the house with lumber taken from his father’s (John Duncan Smith) home. Grandpa was working at the bank at the time he built this home. The house had its bathroom in the area where the kitchen for the apartment is, or the apartment as I remember from childhood. The newer bathroom must have been built around 1950. Originally the front of the house did not have the sunporch. It was probably enclosed about 1950. Prior to that there was just a porch all the way across the front with no brick at each end.
Shirley Parker Campbell: Shirley Campbell owns this home today. Prior to that she and Everette lived in the house across the street. There were two other houses between the Smith house and the Boulevard. Mr. Walter Douglas lived in the corner house on the east side of Scotch Road and the second house was the Mary Lee Home. Our house and Mr. John White’s home remain on the east side of Scotch Road. All the other homes have been torn down or moved.
