KITZMILLER GENEALOGY - Tracy DeVault:
*********************************
In 1825, David and Elizabeth Kitzmiller built an elegant house at Gray Station.
The Kitzmiller Mansion was built by David Kitzmiller with slave labor, using bricks made on the grounds. It was completed
in 1828. It was located on the northwest side of Gray behind the fairgrounds.
The mansion was the center of a typical southern plantation complete with its own slave house, central kitchen, two ice-cold springs to furnish water, and a smokehouse.
The house was decorated in bold colors. Pink went on the woodwork of the ballroom, chair railing, and shutters. The double mantels in the ballroom were black, and the room had an orchestra gallery. The library was done in shades of blue-green. One bedroom, marbled in Dutch blue to the molding, had bright blue woodwork. In the drawing room were 14 kt. gold flowers drawn on fabric-backed paper.
It was a huge house of eight rooms with an ell containing at least four additional rooms. There was a fireplace in every room. On one side of the house was a living room down stairs and a large ballroom upstairs. These rooms each had two fireplaces. The walls of the ballroom were covered with wallpaper from France with the "fleur de lis" in gold. The fireplace mantles were all hand carved - the work being done in Knoxville, Tennessee. The inside door and window casings were likewise hand carved. At one time it was considered the finest home west of Roanoke, Virginia.
Up to and including the Civil War, David prospered - a large stock trader and farmer; he was a confederate sympathizer, supplying the Confederates with meat. At the close of the Civil War David had $30,000.00 in Confederate money in his pocket, which was then worthless, this practically ruined him. Later he divided the farm into three parts of 300 acres each, keeping one part. At one time he had owned 1200 acres. After the Civil War there was a note entered into the court records. It read, "David Kitzmiller is indebted to Peter Yoakley and Samuel Backman, his sons in law, for $1,200.00.
He went bankrupt after the Civil War due to the collapse of Confederate money. The Kitzmillers lost the house which was later sold to Jimmy Gray and called "Gray Mansion." The house was razed in 1970 and it is said that the brick was taken to Knoxville where three houses were built from the brick.
A stagecoach route from Knoxville, Tennessee to Abingdon, Virginia began
at the mansion's side entrance.
David Kitzmiller, at the age of 96, died a man of very modest means, he was in
poor financial circumstances.
He was living in a log cabin on Ford Creek.
The family of David Kitzmiller is closely associated with the Buffalo Ridge Baptist Church, of which he was a member for over 50 years. David and Elizabeth are buried in the church cemetery,

BRISTOL HERALD COURIER - 6 & 11 July 1895:
**************************************
David Kitzmiller, died at his home near Fordtown last Thursday, July 3, 1895. He was at the time of his death the oldest citizen in the County, being 96 years old, and in this natural condition he passed away more from being worn out by the blighting hand of time than from disease which had apparently come upon him.
He was among the first settlers of the County.
He was a highly respectable citizen and raised a good family of children. He was widely regarded as one of the best and most extensive farmers and stock raisers in all the State. His farming lands numbered 1200 acres and his frugality made him immensely rich besides. In the prime of his days it was the custom to drive stock to market, and at one time he took to South Carolina 1800 head of hogs. A story is told illustrating the amount of money he had, which says that after returning from one of his stock markets, the gold, when poured from a bag, heaped upon and ran off a table three feet square. After all this, his generosity, in his later days, left him only in moderate circumstances.
