I am so excited to announce that I have been to partner with Mr James Privitt in the coming days on this invaluable historic Wylie treasure.

Stonehaven house, built in 1912 by local farmer and inventor William E. Stone, the Stonehaven House, home to William & Charlotte Stone, blends Prairie School design elements with influences from early 20th-century architectural pattern books. Its horizontal emphasis, open interior layout, and connection to the surrounding landscape reflect an awareness of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work.

Stone’s innovation and craftsmanship are evident throughout the structure, making the house both architecturally and historically significant to the Wylie area.

Join us as we share this historic restoration with YOU, the Wylie Community. ❤️👩🏻‍🌾🏠

Where they came from, what the journey was like to survive that journey?

They may be hesitant, but let them know how important “Their” stories are for you to know the kind of STOCK you came from!

Then WRITE it down for those to come!!

Her daughter’s story is MY story! Today as I was getting ready to end a work day on the grounds at Wylie a gentleman stopped me.

My wife’s mother is buried here but we can’t find seem to her marker. I ask him for her name and went to search the records and maps.

Without going row by row I had no luck with the maps so back to the grounds to help by walking the grounds!

With the daughter were her two daughters born after her mother had passed, so it was extremely important to find Mother & Grandmother.

Finally, our Board Vice President Vickie Turner yelled out “I found her”…. The daughter cried as she FaceTimed her brother to let him know Mom was found, and the mother introduced the granddaughters to their grandmother.

30 years ago “l” walked into an old cemetery with a death certificate of my GreatGrandfather simply trying to find family…he wasn’t found that day but eventually I was able to locate his burial.

Our Ancestors are our window to the past…it’s to answer to what our families went through for us to be born…

That’s Genealogy is important, that’s why the search is important!

Who are you searching for…let us help!
