Source #1: Anna G. Huff Farmer: John D. Huff built a new house about the time they started teaching at Kingdomcome Settlement School in Linefork. Papa's old house down by Linefork Creek was empty then and Carl and Lonnie fixed it up to live in. There wasn't any closets in that house so Carl made a place to hang their clothes, painted and papered the rooms. What was made into a closet was a great big long hallway going from the back porch to the front with doors on bothends. That is what was always used as a closet, I wish I had photo's of that old house.
