This house was built and owned by Patrick
H. Woodall from 1887 until 1919. P.H.
was a depot agent and a merchant in Woodville for many years. He
also operated a
sawmill and sawed cedar blocks to make pencils. He and his family
move to Stevenson around 1902 where he became active as a merchant and in the banking
business.
In 1919, David Logan Kennamer bought this
house and lived here until his death
in 1942. He was raised in Kennamer Cove. He was a leading citizen in
the
Woodville Community and a very substantial man. David and his wife
operated
a lunch bar and sold groceries in the W.O.W. building a few years.
He later
owned and ran a filling station on the Lee Highway.
The house has been remodeled and added to
many times, the basic structure is
still there. It is a two-story and has cedar uprights in the walls, and
cedar poles in the
structure of the floor foundation. One limestone chimney still
stands at this home,
and one has been replaced by a brick chimney.
Mrs. David Logan was said to be a very
kind loving lady. She loved to sit around
the old limestone fireplace and talk with her friends and relatives.
It is said she was
one of the best cooks in town.
