Floyd and Isaac lived near the arsenic mines, the land was homesteaded and after Abraham's death, the land was divided between them. Isaac's portion was later owned by the Poff's. Until recently, Floyd's son, William Vest, lived at the old homeplace. Floyd, being the strongest, physically, was kept home to farm, while Isaac was sent to school near Abingdon and was a teacher. His first school was in an old Ferguson house near Roscoe Willis' store. This was told by Wanda Vest, his daughter-in-law.
