THIS
IS ANOTHER CACHE IN MY LOCAL HISTORY SERIES AND IS PLACED TO BRING
SOME LOCAL HISTORY OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED AND WORKED THE LAND THAT
IS NOW EDISON WOODS METRO PARK.
THIS CACHE IS PLACED HERE FOR
THE FAMILY OF ALFRED JACOB AND CALLIE BELLE KELLAR. THE PROPERTY ON
THE EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDE OF SMOKEY ROAD WAS PURCHASED BY THEM IN
1935 WITH INHERITANCE MONEY RECEIVED FROM CALLIE'S MOTHER MRS.
WILLINGER. ALFRED AND CALLIE'S HOME WAS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE
ROAD ALONG WITH SOME OTHER BUILDINGS INCLUDING TWO STRUCTURES THAT
STILL STAND TODAY. A BRICK WASH HOUSE AND A BRICK SMOKEHOUSE. THE
NORTH SIDE OF THE ROAD A STRUCTURE STILL STANDS THAT WAS PARK OF
THE ALAN WALDRON TILE YARD. THE TILE YARD SERVED THE QUARRY THAT
OPERATED IN EDISON WOODS WITH BRICK AND OTHER MATERIALS FOR THE
KILN THAT WAS USED IN DAILY OPERATIONS. BEHIND THIS STRUCTURE THE
PROPERTY HOUSED THE REST OF THE TILE YARD. THE TILE BUSINESS
EXISTED HERE IN THE LATE 1800'S. ALFRED PASSED IN1954 AND CALLIE IN
1977. THEIR EARTHLY BODIES ARE BURIED IN THE RIVERVIEW CEMETERY
SOUTH OF BERLIN HEIGHTS AND THEIR SOULS ARE WITH GOD. ALFRED AND
