Kenton Tennessee History: As I remember and heard By Mrs. Willie J. Cole Moore
Years ago, prior to 1905 several black families? lives in what was the Long House located on the street where First Baptist Church was formerly located. Families living in the Long House as I remember hearing my parents say were Bob and Ida Hunt parents of the late Manor Hunt and Mrs. Nora Scates of St. Louis, Mo. William and Sophia Col, Laura Williams, Robert and Henrietta Williams grandparents of James Williams, Louise and Ellaulse Cole were born on what is now 105 Cole St. also are the rest of the Cole children, other families lived at Long House until they could build or buy a house.
