---------------

Freedom (Whigville P.O.) is a small village about four miles from Summerfield,
in a northwesterly direction. About the year 1841 Andrew Somers, an itinerant
shoemaker from Massachusetts, came into the neighborhood and worked from house
to house, carrying his kit of tools with him. In 1843 he purchased a lot from
Samuel Large, upon which he erected a small one-story frame house, in one
corner of which he has his shop. He was an honest Christian man and reared a
respectable family - nine children.
