W. E. "Bill" Redfearn House
James I. Redfearn House
Everette Demby House
Annelle Freeman Demby House
James W. Jenkins: I recall that when Bill Redfearn was Probate Judge, the automobile traffic was so heavy around this section of town the Redfearn family members could not get their own vehicles in and out of the drive. To address this problem, Bill had some rubber devices that looked like iron pipes installed at the entrance to the drive. I recall seeing people try to stop the Redfearn family members from driving over the devices, thinking that they would damage their vehicles. I also recall that Bill had an exciting-looking sports car, a Studebaker Hawk. I thought it was the coolest car I had ever seen. I think they only made a few of them for a limited number of years. They are probably collector items today.
Elizabeth Ann Gaddy Rivers: Bill and Edith Coskrey Redfearn built a concrete-block house at this location in the late 40's or early 50's. Bill served as Probate Judge while they were living here, and Edith ran a florist shop in the right wing. Later, Bill's middle son Jimmy and his wife, Peggy Griggs Redfearn, moved here and added the brick exterior seen on the house today. My mother, Elizabeth Teal Gaddy (later Harris), worked in the Probate Judge's office, and often on week-ends she married couples at Bill's house. When Peggy and Jimmy moved to West Main Street, they sold the house to Everette and Annelle Freeman Demby. Annelle has continued to live there since Everette's death.
