Original Uncle Billy and Zada Lane home in Esmont, Albemerle, Virginia. It burned to the ground Christmas Eve, prior to 1920. William and Zada's sons, William Henry and Raleigh Franklin Lane were shooting off fireworks when one landed on the wooden shake shingle roof and set the home ablaze. Uncle Billy built the new home out of brick so that would not happen again. Note Christmas tree in photo. This may be the last photo taken of the home before it burned.
