The house was not the Second Hand Rose it was completely torn down. The Second Hand Rose was the Basham Store first and then it was two apartments. My Mom, her father and I lived there in the 1940. I have a picture of me sitting in a little rocking chair behind it next to the railroad tracki. I do not about the house in the picture. My family lived in Smyrna all my life and my parents lived there all their lives. My dad was fire chief for a number of years in the 70’s his name was Jack Towns.

You seem to know a bit about the Waldron family. William and Sarah were my great-great-great grandparents. I would like to know where the cemetery is. All I know about it is that it was supposed to be close to a spring according to one of my aunts.

I believe according to rutherford county genealogy website this was the home of the Waller family. But the picture of the house looks different?

After graduating in 1968 I left tenn. and never came back, but thought of Smyrna many times, my mother has many friends. Smyrna was known as a speed trap before I graduated. Tony – it sounds like my high school was your middle school. When I graduated the middle school was on the other side of the baseball field from the high school, must have changed
