  • “The engaged front porch features a tongue-and-groove floor, a beaded-board ceiling, tapered wood posts, and a plain balustrade.

  • “According to present [2007] owner Myrtle Newton Sykes, her family moved to the village in 1931, when she was eleven years old. They stayed for two years, moved away, and then returned for good in 1936. When they moved away in 1933, the mill (Standard Hosiery Mill at that time) still owned all the houses, but when they returned in 1936, the company had sold the houses to individuals.
  • “The company also had built a long, one-story row of brick apartments up the hill (to the south) past Pond Road for mill workers, and she and her parents lived there from 1936 until the apartments were demolished in 1955.
  • “At that point, she moved into her present [2007] house at 3965 NC Hwy 62 S.
  • “Providing an indication of the family ties within the village, Mrs. Sykes added that her oldest brother, William James Leroy Newton, purchased the house at 3961 NC Hwy 62 S; her youngest brother, Walter Alexious Newton Jr., purchased the house at 3957 NC Hwy 62 S and another brother, Walter Taft Newton, boarded there with him because he wasn’t married; and her next to youngest brother, Charles Clyde Newton, bought the house at 3953 NC Hwy 62 S. Thus, for a time, four houses in a row were owned and occupied by members of the Newton family.”
  • From the obituary for Myrtle Newton Sykes (1920-2017): “Myrtle was employed by Tower Hosiery Mill for 49 years and she received her G.E.D. when she was 80 years old. She was a former girl scout and member of Burlington First Church of the Nazarene where she taught Sunday School for 25 years. She was a member of the choir and secretary of her Sunday School Class for many years. She enjoyed playing solitaire, doing word search puzzles, and spending time with her family.”

  • The house was a rental property from the time it was built until at least the 1960s.

  • Ernest Clyde Love (1883-1959) bought the house in 1920 and owned it until he died 39 years later. He appears to have never lived there. He was the proprietor of Barbers Supply Company. There’s no record online of a wife or children.
  • When he died, Love owned seven pieces of land. In 1962 they were sold in a single transaction by a group of 37 heirs, including his one surviving sibling (a sister) and many nephews and nieces (he had been the youngest of seven children).
