With Good Will and Affection-- for Antioch

Book excerpt: Under a green cathedral of trees, Mill Creek meanders through the fertile bottom land of southeast Davidson county that became the first village of Antioch. A close-knit community dotted with quaint cottages and front-porch swings, the residents of the little town by the railroad depot worked, worshiped, and played together for almost two centuries. Tracing the history of the village from its origins as a rural farming outpost to the increasing urbanization of the 1930s, With Good Will and Affection...for Antioch offers an insider's view into facts, figures, memories, and images that defined the lives of many who called Antioch home.
