TRAVELING DOWN BEECH - The Quiet Life

(06/27/2003)

By Bob Weaver This week was filled with sunshine and dry weather and most everyone who has a hayfield was cutting hay. The long cool and rainy spring ended for a few days, with temperatures hitting 90 degrees. It has been time to enjoy our beautiful county, traveling down Beech. Beech Fork meanders all the way from Oka down the western edge of Calhoun to enter Roane County a distance away, emptying into Henry's Fork. Barn on Meadow Run In times past most Calhoun hillsides were "clean" as on this Beech farm Haying time in the hot sun The late John C. and Fanny Ellison farmhouse Florence Hick's house Carefully crafted barn and corn crib Cellar with "house" above, cellar likely had cool water flowing through it
