Roanoke Sixty Five Years Ago Today
Dr S Koontz recounts Roanoke's early frontier days when a diverse mix of families from the east built a lodge on seven wooded hills. The piece highlights traders like Marten Bush, Aunt Mary, Ruban Ebersole, and others, plus craftspeople, boat builders, and a notable teacher of vocal music who shaped the town’s musical legacy. It notes the lock site, walnut and oak groves, and a community moving from frontier life toward settlement.
