In the early 1800's Harmon built a log home for his family, a very substantial structure which is still standing and occupied. The present owner is not a member of the family. The house and part of the large acreage became the property of Harmon's youngest son Joseph, who in turn willed it to his son, James Madison Latture, at which time (1855) the log house was covered with wood siding. The last Lattures to occupy the home were two daughters of James, Josephine ( who died in 1973 and Margaret, who now lives in a rest home in Bristol, Virginia. In the further division of the large land holdings ( see the will of Joseph) a house and land went to George Washington Latture; it was located just across the state line, on Boozy Creek, in Scott County, Virginia. The youngest son John Alexander Latture received land north of Mill Point, where he built his home just across the road from the Latture Cemetery, where many of the family lie buried.

BASIC FACTS
James Howell McKamey was born on 25 January 1857 in Tennessee.2 He and Emaline "Emma" Latture were married on 28 November 1881 in Sullivan Co., Tennessee.4 He died on 29 November 1919, at age 62.2 He died on 29 November 1923, at age 66, in Fresno Co., California.5,6 He was buried in Mountain View Cemetery, Fresno, Fresno Co., California.5 James Howell McKamey had reference number 15826. He was enumerated on the census in Bristol City County, Virginia (1900.) He was a ??? - merchant (1900.)3 From a 1919 bio compiled by Paul E Vandor in his book The History of Fresno County:
A very interesting, progressive citizen, who came to California in 1903, but was one of those who, in 1911, were laying the foundations of Tranquillity, is J. H. McKamey, who hauled his goods from Jameson, and bought his first lot with a check from Graves Bros., owners of the Jefif James lands. He was born near Bristol, Tenn., on January 25, 1857, the son of Robert McKamey, who came from Sullivan County, Tenn. while the grandfather and three brothers came from Scotland. The father was well and favorably known as a farmer near Bristol, and died there. He espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and was in the Civil War. The mother, who had been Mary Catherine Hodges, was born at Washington, Tenn. She had six children, four boys and two girls, all of whom grew up; and our subject is the oldest of those who survived. James H. was brought up on the home farm until he was twenty-one, and then he attended the local school and availed himself of the limited educational advantages. On arriving at maturity, he went to Texas for three years, but finding it unhealthful enough to give him chills and fever, he returned home and then began clerking in a store. At the end of the years he went to Bristol to continue clerking. After that he had a store of his own and engaged in the general merchandise business at Bristol. He was a member of the firm of Lore, Devault & McKamey, and continued as a partner and in that line for many years. Selling out his interest to his partners, he engaged in the produce business in Mountain City until he came to California. In 1903 he sold out and, coming to the Coast, was awhile at Galt, and then at Dinuba, where he embarked in general merchandising characteristic of that enterprising community. While there he became acquainted with a civil engineer, Frank Rautsma. in the employ of the San Joaquin Company; and through him he was first interested in Tranquillity, and bought out the business of Graves Bros. There was at that time so little of the prospective town that for a couple of years he hauled all the goods for his store from Jameson, but he persevered as a real pioneer, and by 1913 he was able to build the new store edifice he at present occupies, and which is such a credit to the place. He made it large and commodious, and once again engaged in a general merchandise business, including groceries, drygoods, clothing,shoes, etc. While in Tennessee, Mr. McKamey was married to Miss Emma Latture. a native of Sullivan Countv, and they had four children : Vesta, Mrs. C. I. Rider of Redwood City; Pearl, at home; Ottis O., who was in the United States Army; and Fay, Mrs. J. W. Tapp of Glendale, Ariz. Besides his store-building, Mr. McKamey owns a comfortable residence. In national politics he was a Democrat, but in the hearty support of local issues designed to advance the general welfare of the community, he knows no party lines and votes for the best that is attainable.
