During these years there was a great
deal of open field area where children
played baseball and other games.
There were low-lying areas which
included what was knovm as "The
Big Creek" where the ch ldren fished.
The big catches from the creek were
Craw Dads; when one was caught,
there was a real feeling of
accomplishment, as told by Virginia
Ford-Neal.
The creek ran from Demorest Road,
begirming near the Haley residence,
to the Dexter Avenue and Race Street
intersection; from there i t went east
along Race Street almost to Athens
Avenue. As time went on and the
neighborhood began to grow in
population, it was decided that these
low-lying lands should Be built-up, so
little by little they were 'illed in.
Before there were any churches in the
neighborhood, there wap a man the
.children knew as "Brother Dave"
Cunningham, from the Hilltop area,
who used to hold a chiliiren's meeting
every Sunday under a tjig tree near
Demorest and Race Street.

early days of her career moved to Burnside to raise their
family. Among their six children who
grew up in the neighborhood, was
the nationally popular vjocalist Nancy
Wilson. Although Nancy was born in
Chillicothe, she was raised in
Burnside where the Wilsons resided
at 679 Dexter Avenue. Nancy recalls
going to Burnside school from 4th to
8th grade and later goiriig on to West
High School with classijnates Becky
Barnes, Sally Williams, and Ozella
Jennings. Fondly remembering these
days, Nancy spoke of tae

There are now about 100 homes in Burnside, and it is constahtly changing
physically, but the spirit and the warmth remain the same. Life is easy
going here, and the residents work at keeping it quiet and friendly.
