How many times have we heard that old expression "If these walls could only talk..."?
That is a question which certainly comes to mind in referring to this Ozark, pioneer
log-cabin and the various modifications to the old structure which had occurred over
the decades, such as the tin-roof replacement for the hand-split, wooden shingles.
How many generations of children played in front of the cabin and on that porch which
has now collapsed? How many trips were made to the well to fetch fresh pails of water?
And how many cords of firewood and kindling were cut and split to keep the fireplace
tended and to fuel those families' cook stoves over the years?
Now the decaying homestead waits, abandoned and destined for demolition. It stands
open and welcoming still, but the only visitors are of the four footed variety, and they
don't report on what kind of echoing voices they hear inside, from those timeworn walls.
