REMINISCENCES OF
THE LONG AO O.
[ "Heap Sees, But Few Knows."
8 '
By Uncle Josh.
Last week in our random thought!- and
recollections we wrote up the
C?" - I
Southwestern side of Main street in4*
passing through the village down .as
far as Twelve Mile creek. Now we
will give snao shots at the North-'
eastern part of Main street?com-'
meneing opposite, no\fr the Factory
Village, where several stores and
l-v '
dwellings have been erected. This
tract of land, once covered several'
acres and was originally known as the j
"Well Curb" tract, being on the high-J
est point, and "long ago" there was a j
dwelling on it and a powerful deep f
well on the place, from which it took'
it's name. It was a popular and j'
favorite resort and the young folks '
of the town were delighted to take a
stroll down there and while away the
evenings. The place was Mr.
Ephriam Corley's and at one time belonged
to Mr. David Rawi, his sonin-law.
The old Corley family burying
ground is beyond the branch east
of the "Well Curb," where many of
the family are buried, Mr. Lawrence
Corley, Maj. Ephriam Corley hi?
wife, Aunt Deby, and others of the old
folks around. Now, near the grave
yard, there are several dwellings. Mr.
Mike Wingard's family and other?
live near.
Mr. Simeon Corley bought the place
_ _ ^ ?
for a Mr. Morris, or vermoni. ivir.
.
Morris employed an old gentleman ^
from Switzerland who was familiar
with grape culture and he set out the ;
* entire hill and lands east
of the "Well Curb," fronting
the Columbia and Augusta road.j
in grapes. And it was a sue-/
ce3s, as fine grapes and great quantities
of them, were produced there, and
the business went on for several years
in charge of Mr. Delmar, the German.
He was industrious ? and a
/ i
P clever old fellow full of fun with his
dutchy sayings. Finally, however
- Mr. Morris' health failed him, not
being strong when he came here,
he sold the vineyard to Mr. Sim Corley,
and moved back North with his
.
family and he died there' He had
also purchased the old Jake Drafts'

place owned a while by Wilkin?
Gunter, about a mile below town, nowthe
home of Judge S. P. Wingard's
family. Many improvements were
added by Mr. Morris, and when it
became Judge Wingard's, he too
made improvements that added greatly
to the value of the place?today it's
one of the most comfortable and convenient
homes and improved farms in
the county.
After the erection of The Lexing-1
ton Manufacturing Company's build- jf
ing went up, the vineyard and land? |
near were in demand, and by degree?
Mr. Simeon Corley sold off lots to ,
various persons, and buildings were
built, and now it is a residential part
of lower Man street with considerable
business principally the factory help.
Next came the newly built home ot l
M. D. Haijman, then the first'cottage i
on the brow of the hill, entering town, i
later the home of Tyler W. Caugh-j
i
man, now the property of Mr. James/.
Caughman, and the home of Mrs. I.
Martha Hendrix Haltiwanger.
Mr. G. Adolphus Fink, publisher of j
The Lexington Flag, who purchased
the old field lot fronting the Methodist
church, on Main sti>eet, and which
bound on the Northeast the Col. Wm. f
Fort place, which was next in town.
Here Mr. Fink built a two-story
building, the lower story was the |
printing office, and up stairs was hi? '
dwelling. When the Civil War came
4
on Mr. Fink joined Capt. West
Caughman's Calvary company and
went in service. When he returned
*
after the surrender, he found Sherman
had destroyed his office, home,
kitchen and contents of all. He de- f
cided not to engage in the printing
business, and went up on Hollow >
Creek where he found his family and
went to farming with his father-inlaw,
Rev. Henry Smith. Finally he
thought the West held out better op-"
portunities on the farm, and other
work, and he moved out in Georgia
with his, family and died there, noi 1
long since.
Judge C. M. Efird is now the owner
of the Fink lot and has built him a
commodious and convenient dwelling
with necessary outbuildings thereon. '
Also the up-to-date home of Dr. P.
H. Shealy with all improvements foi '
comfort and good living, both adding
greatly to the looks of lower Main 1
street. r

cess has crowned his efforts in the j
