Cousins - Hager, Cormack
Jean Cormack [Dorethea Ann "Mooky (Hager) Cormack's daugher] visiting the Hamilton house a few years after it was built. Notice the original roof and bedford stone behind some ornamental shrubs. Those metal "T" shapes just over the gently sloping side of the house, are the "clothes line" poles shining in the sun. Many a wash would be hung to dry in that Southwesterly breeze traveling up the Big Spring valley. The young sycamore tree reaching up in the backyard will dominate the view from the master bedroom in years to come. (A subsequent image from 2013 shows Isabel sitting in the arms of that mature Maple.) The gleaming Tobacco barn, new with sliding door track front, is ready to house the annual tobacco crop. Neither the vent "windows" on the high peak, nor the dual-purpose "tool shed, stripping room" have been added yet. The sliver of hillside visible between barn and home records the mass of trees that were felled in the early 1970s on the last rise midway to the "true" woods.
