An Old Stone House Homes are many and vary in kind- All havens of rest for the body and mind. An old stone house is this kind of home, Built of colorful native sandstone. Of stone hauled on a lizard to the building site- A machine back then was man and his might. When ones daily bread was more earned than now, By the hardest of work and sweat of the brow; When to church on Sunday was a family must, And in God our Father there was more trust. Yes, homes are many and vary in kind- All havens of rest for the body and mind. An old stone house is this kind of home, Built of colorful native sandstone. May it ever proudly stand, A memory of once a frontier land. Francis Elam Burgess, M.D. (Echoes From The Highlands, p. 121) (I saw this on the post of the stone house on 23 and it reminded me of our stone home that was built in the 1930s that we live in)
