Errata: Note that in the video, Lloyd D. Newell is erroneously identified as “Lloyd K. Newel.” Our apologies to Dr. Newell… The location of the Smith Frame home identified by a box in the aerial photograph is actually the building to the east Also, of interest, Hathaway Creek was sometimes referred to as “Crooked Creek.”
