The cabin was erected before 1860 one mile north of Jason- ville on North Meridian Street road. The Coppock Neal and Worth families used it as a dwelling. It was a school house and a post office also. Around 1908 it was moved to a team of horses on rollers one-half mile due east. The last family to use it as a cabin was the family of Ed Grigsby. The Caddell family was the last to live in the remod- eled dwelling. Then Edgar Kent purchased the property. ln clearing the grounds to farm it he discovered he log cabin in the center of -Wm WWA the dwelling He donated it to Junior T Price and his wife or the restoration and preservation for posterity in 1967. J. . 'Jug Price and Paul David Bradbury removed the logs an marked them for restoring. In 1968 James ' Red Yeryar an Jug Price began six-tenths of a mile from the end of east Main Street on State Road 48 on a lake owned by the Prices. After erecting the cabin at this site the present owners have furnished it with relics of the past. On the walls of this cabin is its history ending with these words: We sincerely hope that all who stand sheltered within its walls will pause and meditate upon our humble beginnings and fine tradition and Great Heritage that our Forefathers have given us and be THANKFUL.
