Walter and Mahala lived in a place called Jake Neck on the
Catawba River, just off of Stewart Rock Road. Their home
was located near the end and to the right. There was a family
cemetery where Walter, Susan and Mahala are buried, but it was
either destroyed by loggers or is now under water. There are
new homes for River Walk currently on this property. |
