    Many thanks, JD, for sharing the story of the Walker Sisters. As time goes by, people forget the hardships and the struggles of our ancestors. Sadly, the government still tries to run our business today. Have a blessed Saturday.

    Good morning JD! It is really sad that the sisters had to fight the government to stay in their home.
    May they Rest In Peace!
    If you check out Pigeon Forge you will find another family fighting today that the government took their home. The government took the land and house, bulldozing the house down and not even paying the family for the land and house that has a mortgage on it. The government took it by eminent domain. She has a UA-cam channel called Pigeon Forge Eminent Domain if you are interested.
    So wrong for the government just to be able to take people’s land…my opinion only.
    Have a very blessed day with your family!
