Anxiously awaiting your book. I spent some of my most memorable summer days as a guest at Overhills during recent/last years, and wish I could return to reminisce and perhaps help the restoration movement…
I would love to hear you recollections of Overhills! Contact me anytime or give Fort Bragg Cultural Resources a call!

in your July 2008 posting you stated:
One week later, I’m still thinking about these buildings and still wondering who the Davis Brothers were. Preliminary internet research looking for the Davis Brothers or B.F. Davis near Centenary, SC has yielded no results. The records are likely in the Marion County Courthouse and just not digitized yet. I would like to know if they were part of a family business, the nearby railroad, or the main street of a small rural community. I don’t know if these buildings are related to the houses nearby or with which community they were historically associated. Information would make this find all the more meaningful, but for now it will have to stay in the collection of roadside mysteries. I hope somebody knows the stories to these buildings; they must be great. I love these buildings.
I know about these buildings.
I married a cute Carolina girl, whos mother was a Davis and grew up in Centenary. I’m not sure of the exact details but the Davis family owned the surrounding land and tenant farmers farmed the land. My wife speaks of when she was a child, buying penny candy at the the store, which was like a department store for the tenant farmers, plows clothes gas shovels, anything they needed.
I think the tenant farmers are gone and now the land is leased by agribusiness. My wife’s aunt still lives in the house nearby, and there is a cemetery somewhere nearby with a Davis crypt even.
You are right, the place oozes history.
I just came across your website today. I am a HP grad student and I LOVE pink Flamingos….which is really ironic. I just thought that I would tell you soo you could add another crazy HP to your list of flamingo lovers!
