Mrs. Jarrell Accomplishes Modern Miracle In Home
Oxford is noted for its his
tory, but the home of Mrs. C. C.
Jarrell is history of many gen
erations in its beautiful old furn
iture, china, silver and pictures
from generations past.
The new, old home of Mrs.
Jarrell is located on Emory
Street with ancient oak trees giv
ing bountiful shade in the spac
ious yard. The home was orig
inally built in 1902 and served
as the Methodist parsonage until
two years ago when the new par
sonage was built by Allen Me
morial Church and this home
rented.
Mrs. Jarrell purchased the old
parsonage and had it completely
redone and moved into her new
home about five months ago.
New steps and front door were
added, a coat of bamboo shade
paint with white trim beautifies
the home. The spacious side
porch was shutter inclosed to
provide privacy and in the sum-

mer the screened area is an ideal
place for relaxation, giving pri
vacy for outdoor pleasure.
The entrance hall of the home
has been completely redone with
black and white forming a beau
tiful floor design for the oriental
decor of the room. Furnishings
and an Oriental rug were mostly
from this section of the world.
Mrs. Jarrell has perfected the
furnishing of this home in every
detail to utilize the many lovely
pieces of furniture secured from
various parts of the world and
the antiques which have been
handed down from her family and
that of the late Dr. Jarrell.
The beautiful hand carved chest
in her living foom was brought
to them from Hong Kong and is
over one hundred years old.
Among the many beautiful dishes
and other items owned by Mrs.
Jarrell is one old dish that has
been handed down through the
family for eight generations.
When the home was remodeled
Mrs. Jarrell had one portion
of the dining room area sectioned
off with old doors attached to
gether to form a wall. In this
sectioned area she installed a
small, compact and convenient
kitchen. The large kitchen she
has rented to one of the profes
sors at the college, in a three
room apartment rented so that
she will not be alone in the
house. Dr. Jarrell having pas
sed away about six years ago.
In one room of the home is
a piano that belonged to Dr.
Jarrell’s grandfather, Dr. Smith,
which is over 100 years old.
A chest on this piano was also
one belonging to Dr. Smith and
for almost 50 years was locked.
Mrs. Jarrell, after their opening
it, found it to contain sermons
of Dr. Smith. Some of these
have now been turned over to
Emory in Atlanta for preserva
tion.

In a bedroom of the home are
two beautiful stained glass win
dows. Mrs. Jarrell said when
she purchased the home these had
been boarded over and were not
visible. They have now been re
stored to their original use and
beauty. The entire home is fur
nished in antiques, including a
marble top table.
A large back j>orch has been
redone and is now the nearest
thing to modern day furnishings
of anything in the lovely home,
which is Indeed a full day’s
history if one has the time to
enjoy to the fullest the beauty
of it all, and Mrs. Jarrell is a
most gracious hostess and enjoys

Clean Heating
Any fireman can tell you it’s
actually a fact that a clean
house seldom burns.
It’s just as true that a clean
stove or furnace seldom burns
up the house.
Dirty, defective heating and
cooking equipment is high on
the list of fire causes. It was
responsible for close to 200,000
fires in the United States last
year, according to National Fire
Protection Association esti
mates.
Now is an excellent time to
have heating equipment serviced
and repaired before you let it
go and get caught by the first
cold snap of next fall.
It could be time to check the
chimney, too- it’s particularly
important if you burn wotxl or
coal. And a clean, tight chimney
means fuel saving as well as fire
safety.
If you have an exhaust fan
and duct over your kitchen stove,
how long since it has had the
greasy residue removed?
A final reminder: Make sure
that any kerosene or oil room
heaters are clean and in sound
working condition before you put
them away for the season or get
them ready for summer camp
use. A dirty, defective one is
about as dangerous an object as
you can have in your home.
accordingly.
5. The entire cost of water,
sewerage and street work within
the subdivision (materials and
labor) must be deposited with
the City by the Developer before
any work is begun. This applies
whether the work is to be done
by a private contractor or by
the City itself. If the work is to
be done by a private contractor,
a three-way contract is executed
between the City, the Developer
and the Contractor at the time
the money is deposited with the
City. The City will then pay
the contractor upon completion
and approval of the subdivision.
6. Hie City will extend water
service to the property line of
an approved subdivision with no
cost to the Developer.
7. The City will extend sew
er service, where availabe, to
the property line of an approved
subdivision at no cost to the
Developer. If sewer service is
not available to a subdivision,
approval of the subdivision will
be given by the Planning Com
mission only with the stipulation
that a percolation test be made
and approved on each lot within
the subdivision. This percol
ation test will be made by the

Dr. Jarrell attended school ,
at Emory at Oxford in 1890
and loved the school and Ox
ford so much he always wanted
to come back to live. After
preaching for over 50 years for
various Methodist Churches, on
his retirement he and Mrs. Jar
rell returned to Oxford to make
their home in the old Haygood
House, which Mrs. Jarrell sold
last September.
She has two children, one
daughter, Mrs. Arthur Roper of
Washington, D.C. and George P.
Foote, an architect in Atlanta.
Also adding pleasure to M rs. Jar
rell’s life are four grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren.
At present Mrs. Jarrell is busy
helping to sell the last book
written by Dr. Jarrell, “Oxford
Echoes”, which was first pub
lished as a series in The Wes
leyan Christian Advocate”. The
sale of this book is being spon
sored by the Daughters of the
American Revolution and the en
tire proceeds from the sale of
the books go the perpetual care
of Oxford Cemetery where so
many prominent men of Meth
odism and Emory are buried.
Mrs. Jarrell says she is thor
oughly enjoying her new home
and at her age is not sorry she
pulled up stakesand ventured into
a new home. She says she
wonders how she would have
