Here follows an excerpt from the Fall 2005 "Franconia Legacies" newsletter published by the Franconia Museum and written by Lillian Louise Simms Javins:
"Mrs. Kassie Carter Smith was a teacher. She had two sons, Carter Lee and Claude. Her husband, Mr. Lee Smith, worked on a good job. He built a little store across from his house on Franconia Road. It became a neighborhood gathering place in the evenings."
