| 説明 | No Point Farm at 17238 St. Jeromes Neck Road in Dameron, MD on Christmas Day, 25 December 2004 by Elvert Barnes PhotographyThe former Dunbar Farm and purchased by my grandparents Thomas Walter and Violet Emma Dove Biscoe in the 1920's and overlooking the St. Clarence Creek this almost 100 acre farm was where as young boy through my mid teens that I would spend much time. In 1969 my grandparents sold the property to the Capper family who, at that time, owned and operated Capper's Nursery in Southern Virginia. And who, shortly before, had begun purchasing large farms in Southern Maryland, particularly, in Dameron Maryland along St. Jeromes Neck Road. My grandfather passed in 1971.And as he had promised my grandfather Mr. Capper permitted my grandmother to remain in the house on the farm until her death, or for as long as she wanted to.After experiencing a stroke in the early 80's my great grandmother, Violet Biscoe, moved to Joe Baker's Village in Lexington Park MD.As one of the largest black land owners on St. Jerome's Neck Road Walter and Violet Biscoe were well respected. And always held their own. My grandfather sometimes told the story that in order for him to have purchased the land, a Jewish man agreed to purchase it first and then resell it to him. And it was not uncommon for KKK members who lived on nearby farms to threaten my grandparents by leaving white crosses in their woods or carving the KKK letters into the bark of trees.Elvert Barnes PhotographyThomas Walker Biscoe March 1971 obituary at flic.kr/p/Be7gc3Violet Biscoe December 1998 obituary at flic.kr/p/B7DHhD |
