This was the home of John & Izetta Taunton, probably built in the 1920's or 30's.  Here their daughter, Miss Carmen Taunton Holley was raised.  She,in turn, raised her children, Olive Holley Golden, Sonny Holley and Tim Holley, with Mr. Louis Holley, in a house back off the road just to the southeast of this home.  Miss Zett, as Miss Izetta was called lived many years as a widow in this house and went to Refuge Church as much as she could for as long as she could.  Reddoch McNeal once mentioned what a witness she was to his coming to church when he saw how she struggled with her arthritis to get up the front steps of the church.
