Nix - Bell House

History
3
Circa 1896, this house was built and early in the 20th century it was owned by William Henry (Will) Nix (1886-1953) and Clara Maddox Nix, daughter of Dr. Cicero Cincinnatus Maddox, a prominent Alpharetta physician. In addition to farming, Nix raised Chester White (O.I.C.) pigs for their lard content. The single-pen farmhouse features a front porch and a roof with gable-fronted dormers. Jim Bell purchased the 23-acre tract in 1976 from Bascomb Samples, and in 2011 established a 10-acre certified natural burial ground, Milton Fields, on the property.
