Nicole Legg: Creelsboro memories her grandfather told her

Comments re photo 59618 Creelsboro KY A ghost town lives on from Larry Smith

By Nicole Legg

My grandfather Tom Andrew, 85, is the youngest of 11 siblings in the Andrew family and the only one still living.

He grew up just down the creek from the Rock House and is a second cousin to Milton Watson that was mentioned in Mr. Mike Watson's comments on the building.



I asked him to tell me more about the building in the picture, as I have heard him tell about it in the past.

As best as he could remember, here is the information he gave me.
My grandfather's Uncle Will Andrew bought the building from Dot Clayton when it was a country store.

Will Andrew sold the building to my great uncle Joe Andrew who turned it into a house. Sam Andrew (Tom and Joe's brother), and Allie and Dolph Andrew (their parents) lived in the house.

Allie and Dolph Andrew both lived there until their deaths.

My grandfather said that at one time, the building had an open front porch and steps from the porch to the rock wall at the road. He remembers sleeping on that porch one night when he was a teenager.

His brother, Ruel Andrew, built a chimney onto the building.
Joe Andrew owned the building and the surrounding property until he died and then the building was auctioned off. - Nicole Legg
