NeonMichael: It is nice of you to mention my grandparents, Alva “A.B.” and Maude Jefferis. They built the Pine Hill Drive In Theater (as well as the Jefferis Theater in town), and built the house that you list as adjacent. (The house, and property, are behind the back fence of the drive in.) Grandmother did photograph a number of strange (and strange-behaving) lights in the sky as seen over the theater’s screen (which put them in the direction of the sky over and past Clarke’s Mountain). Grandmother had the dam (which is topped by the driveway to the house) rebuilt in the 1980s. Granddad had a train (12" between the tracks, live steam) he named “the 4 Spot”. Before he died, the track was put around the pond between the house and drive in theater. That engine and the cars are now a part of a railroad club in Atchison, KS. My older brother is a part of that club, so we get to “keep an eye on Granddad’s train”. Grandmother was a teacher in town, as well as professional photographer in Piedmont. Wonderful people, now long gone but not forgotten.
