The following article appeared in the Thursday, Dec. 10, 1942 edition of the Sandy Valley Enquirer.
The first settlers of Soldier were Harrison Garvin, father of Rebecca Patton [widow of the late J. D. Patton] and Jeremiah Powers Richards [father of the late John William Richards], and the Underwoods on Dry Branch Road, ancestors of Velva Underwood, Mrs. Ina Vincent, and W. A. Gilbert.
These Pioneers were substantial farmers and livestock dealers.
Still standing as a monument to the achievements of these early settlers is the old GARVIN homestead in which MRS. NORA SHAY granddaughter of HARRISON GARVIN now lives.
Only recently the old Richards homestead was razed by Jason Bradley who now owns the part of the farm on which the house stood. The ole Underwood home still stands and is now owned by Charles Pelfrey, Sr.
