| Dear Friends: The four of us are very excited about our Jonesville project, the restoration of the 125 year old Mathis House located at 223 Cherry Street. We loved it the first time we saw it because we did not see it for what it was, but rather what it could become. We are now 95% completed. On May 3, 2008 we held our Open House as part of 'Old Jonesville Day'. We wanted to have a part in that special day. We had over 100 folks come thru and tour the house on that day. We are looking forward to having a part in Jonesville. The house will be a "getta-way" place for us. We intend on spending many days on the front porch watching the Yadkin River go by. Also, we plan to bring families in as tourist to spend a night or a week in the historic house. The Jonesville area has so much to offer the entire family and we want to share that with others by having them stay at the Mathis House. We are grateful to Charles and John Mathis for their input on the history of the house. Also in the house is one of the original mantles that was removed in 1975 when the house was remodeled. It was donated back to the property after 38 years of being gone. Thank you for your interest, Glenn and Frances Sanford and Richard and Sydney Love
