GREASY RIDGE - As Jane Kendrick stands at the stairs of the family's log cabin on Greasy Ridge in rural Lawrence County a cool breeze blows through the trees as the hot sun blares overhead.

"Just think, if it could talk Š" she said while looking over the aged, graying cabin. "The thing about here, there's always the nicest breeze."

Though the cabin cannot tell its own tale, Kendrick has found that the story is a compelling one that hits close to home.

In the mid-1800s, her great-grandfather was heading to Ironton for a Civil War meeting. While traveling to the meeting, he was thrown from his horse, landed in a ravine and broke his back, Kendrick recalled.

The man was carried down the road to a house where he passed away. This is the house.

Kendrick said that she and her mother were driving one day and found the cabin that was located in Hecla along Sugar Creek.

So intrigued by the past, the family located the owner of the cabin, purchased it and then began the job of moving it to their farm on Greasy Ridge.

"We bought the house, and our Boy Scout Troop moved it," she said.

Mike and Margie Whitley were the scout leaders of Boy Scout Troop 86 which helped move the cabin piece by piece. Kendrick said that they used tags that they normally use on cattle ears to mark each log so they could put the house back together exactly as it was.

"It just came to me, and it worked well," Kendrick said of using the tags to mark the logs.

Unsure of the actual age of the house, Kendrick said she was told by various people that they thought it was one of a row of cabins by an old furnace dating back more than 100 years.

The Kendricks plan to check tax records to see if they can get more information about the history of the cabin.

"A lot of our friends and neighbors are interested in it, which is fun," she said.

It has been a few years since they moved the cabin to it's new home - the Boy Scouts, including Kendrick's 21-year-old son Tyler, are grown.

Now construction workers are finishing the house, so it will have even more stories to tell, as Tyler Kendrick will be the new occupant of the cabin.

Tyler already has one story to tell his family - how he and his friends moved a log cabin piece by piece - to its new home on Greasy Ridge.
