This old colonial home, owned

beauty of other days. One would
almost feel that one had stepped
back a century and a half as one
wandered among its beautiful
rooms, filled with antiques. The
artcraft of Duncan Phyfe, Chippen
dale and other old masters show
up in its sett ng as only the Greek
1
revival architecture can do.
The furniture in this home has
been in the family five and six
generations. Some of it has been
anded down through the Godfrey
and Walton families,- Mr. Godfrey
being a descendent of Isaac Rowe
Walton, while other valuable
pieces have come from the Hardee
side. Four-poster beds, old sec
retaries and rare old tables typify
the wealth of southern tradition
and dignity.
.Mrs. Godfrey Is a niece of Gen- !
eral William J. Hardee, a disting- |
u.shed Confederate officer, and is i
tuscended from Anthony Hardee, a
signer of the Declaration of Inde- !
pendence. She is a great-great j
,_ianddaughter of Captain John:
Hardee, who manned his own
private armed vessels during the
Revolution, for which services he
was given thirteen hundred acres
of land in Camden county, where
the old family home rested on the |
