Faintly behind the rapidly growing young pines in this yard stands the old home that Martin Alva Taunton and his wife Burte built in the late 1930's. In this home, that had a basement and a barn out back, they raised their 4 children, Roma Lee, Charles, Huette and Noma Kay in the 1940's and 1950's. Much of the lumber used in the construction of this came from an old store building that had been on this hill for over 150 years. That building had served the community as a general store and post office when the surrounding area was called "Channahatchee" rather than Red Hill. The owner/operator and post master was Henry Taunton, great grandfather of Martin Alva.
