We hope to provide a fresh start for the property and the community through renovation. In August 2006, in a horrific incident that shook the community, a 17-year-old Worthington girl was shot in the head in a passing car – she and her girlfriends had dared each other to approach the spooky house at 141 Sharon Springs Drive. When they left, Allen S. Davis, who lived in the house with his mother, S
ondra, fired at the car. The young girl made a miraculous recovery and the perpetrator was sentenced to 19 years in prison. The spooky house has sat empty, unkempt and decaying since Sondra Davis passed away in 2009. In February 2013, Eric Rousculp and Lisa DuVernay, long-time residents of Worthington, purchased the house at Sherriff’s auction. They plan to rehab the property for their daughter, Emma Rousculp, who is engaged to Mike Wilson. Wilson and the Rousculp family have begun working hard to transform the property, but there is so much that needs to be done – it is hard for them to not feel as though they are in over their heads. The family hopes to reach out to the community for support. They are looking for donations in materials, equipment (chipper) or time/labor. The Rousculp family hopes that this project can help provide a new start for the property, the community and the young couple.
