The COZYHOME CONNECTION
This is part 2 of our meet the old-timer, Harvey Page Honeycutt. He remembered his closest neighbors fondly, and mentioned their names hoping others would also remember them. Leonard Dye, Sarah Wade Baker, Delbert Baker, George Williams, and John Baker. When asked about his favorite thing about Cozahome, he said, âwell, at my old house, I loved that there was no trafficâ. He was referring to the cabin he lived in on what is now Honeycomb Lane which turns off Cozahome Road across from the church. After graduation, Harvey went business school in Springfield and worked part time hanging drapes and making cornices. He then went to California with his brother for about 6 months.

Good morning and welcome to winter! The holidays will soon be here. Keeping busy plotting Christmas baking recipes, trying to decide on main dish. I’m thinking venison. It’s not like we don’t have enough.
