This Texas-style farmhouse was constructed for George and Florence Wood-Sutton in 1912. The two-story wooden house was built for $800.00, which included a smokehouse and an outdoor privy. Large porches encircle the front and north sides of the house, while the rear porch provides access to one of the three exit doors. The downstairs features a receiving room with a fireplace, three bedrooms (one of which also has a fireplace), a large dining room, a kitchen, and a hallway. As the family expanded, the second floor was added and converted into the boys’ bedroom.
In 1899, George Wood-Sutton had four children when he married Florence.
First wife, Mattie E. Hill, passed away in 1896. They had four children: Clarance, Mollie, Lillie, and Italy. Florence raised his and Mattie’s four children along with their own: Odie, Jess, Vernie, Homer, Dollie, Georgia, Clifford, Mattie, Lloyd, Odeal, Elli Hue ‘E.H.”, G.W., Jack, and Betty Florence. Mattie and the children following her were born in this very house. Other family members also resided in this house at various times.
The house was originally located on the Luckett Farm on Highway 276, three miles west of Emory. A portion of the farm was then sold to Kenneth and Betty Smith of Dallas, who donated the house to the Rainy County Historical Society in 1993. The restoration of this house was performed under the direction of G.W. Luckett and Ellie Hue ‘E.H.” Luckett, with additional major funding provided by Mattie Luckett IVie, Luckett family members, and the Rainy County Historical Society.

It seems as though words could never fully express your experiences and how you feel as though you’re wilted and withering beneath the enormous weight of being trapped under the horrific harm that was done to you. So you find meaning and healing through what you see and the pictures you thoughtfully capture. Thank you for following your intuition and allowing yourself to find a way to help articulate and give voice to what is inside you even though it can feel wrong, unimportant, frivolous, scary, unfamiliar and unnecessary. Through your courageous work in this area you have been able to find one helpful way to cope and experience some healing.

One day while taking pictures of things in our garage that I found fascinating, I noticed this tiny branch with dried leaves that had broken off the bush next to the garage. It was trapped under the garage door and when I saw this I felt I could deeply relate to the story this scene seemed to tell me.

This mess of bubbles is home to the spittle bug. Or down south, just plain spit bug. The spit bug is a leaf hopper nymph. The bubbles give protection from predators and the elements. The spit bug can be safe and cozy while it grows up to adulthood.
