A house from the past once located at Letona Arkansas, a few miles from Searcy Arkansas.

We sell houses. We sell neat little houses with sodded yards, privacy fences in the back yard. But think back to the time when the fence went all the way around. You walked through a front gate! There was a porch and vines grew up to shade the porch. The chimneys were tall and worked. And there were out-buildings. And no grass grew in the yards, just dirt. If chickens roamed, you'd better watch out while going barefoot!! And families gathered on the front porch for photos. I borrowed this photograph from the White County Historical Society photo collection. Under the photograph is this explanation.

"Ma Horn's Place" is the notation on the back of this old photograph, provided by Diann Poe and her mother Betty J. Bennett, both members of the White County Historical Society. The writer had added: "house used to be on old road north of Zada and Kilburn Hughes on 310 past Letona." Diann identified the people in the photo as (left to right) Bertie Horn Whistnant, Pearce Horn, Mary Magalene Horn, Finnie Clay (baby), Lillie Clay, and the two young girls in front, Willie Mae Whistnant and Earleen Whistnant. She said the house was located just north of Letona on what is now Hwy. 310.
