Richard Alverson and Kay Odom were united in marriage 64 years ago today on Dec. 4, 1960, at Mt. Zion Poe Hill Church near Olden in northern Howell County. The site of the ceremony held special meaning for the couple, as the church was built years before on land donated by Kay’s great-grandfather. To the couple’s union, two children were born: Cappy Fore and Rick Alverson, Jr. The family is now blessed with five grand children and “lots” of great-grandchildren.

The Mtn. View Garden Club’s September Yard of the Month was awarded to Tom Antrim, 314 Sharp St. “The lawn in this yard is a lush carpet of zoysia grass,” described club members. “In the middle of the yard is a flowering dogwood tree that is planted in a raised bed with many perennial plants, and a concrete bench with an angel watching over everything in the yard. There are hydrangeas on the side of the house as well as rose bushes with a few blooms still hanging on. As you pass under the arbor into the back yard there is a pergola in the center of the yard. All of the paths are made of flat rocks or blocks. More hydrangeas are near the rear of the home, with woodsy herns and other plants.” Antrim’s late wife, Sandy, previously recognized several times with the award, was the gardener and keeper of the flowerbeds, but he crafted the structures and hardscape, club members added. “Pride of ownership is evident throughout the property,” they said. “Mr. Antrim is a gifted woodworker. It was a pleasure to walk around his beautiful yard and see his wood projects and rock collection.”
