H.C. Willis Moving to Farm, July 3, 1924

H.C. Wills Gets a Farm

H.C. Wills, who turned over his hardware business recently to his son Clarence, has bought a 13-acre farm out on the Mount Carmel road, about half a mile beyond Williams Chapel, and will move there in the next two or three weeks. He sold his home at the west end of McCauley street to W.S. Roberson, and Mr. Roberson has sold it to J.W. Huskey.

“I don’t expect to do much real farming,” says Mr. Willis, “but will devote my time mostly to raising chickens and hogs. There is an out-building, once used as a kitchen, which I’ll use as an incubator house, and a new kitchen will be built onto the main house. As for crops, I’ll probably not try to raise much except for me, truck for the family and feed for the hogs and chickens.”
