Sallie Elizabeth Davidson was the 3rd of 8 children born to Erastus Granger Davidson and Eliza Greever Gregory; a sister to my Grandmother Buckland (Mary Jane Davidson). Aunt Sallie was also the wife of my 1st cousin, once removed Robert “Bob” Johnson Wimmer. Uncle Bob was a nephew to Mary Jane’s husband, Larkin Watson Buckland, Sr. Got that? This whole genealogy thing sometimes gets confusing. Aunt Sallie and Uncle Bob lived in a large house on the hill overlooking Falls Mills Dam on the Mudfork Road. I doubt the house still stands, but I would love to have a picture of it. It was a modest dwelling in the midst of the woods, but the view from there overlooking the dam must have been spectacular.

The Railroader's Daughter 
The view from that house was spectacular. I visited it many times as a child in the 1960s. Sally’s brother, Luther, was Luther Hufford Davidson, Sr. (not Hefford). He was my paternal grandfather. The last time my father (Luther, Jr.), my husband, and I tried to visit that house was in the early 1980s. The road up the hill to the house was impassable. I do not know what became of the house or who the property passed on to after the deaths of Aunt Sally and Uncle Bob.
