Historic home damaged by blaze By STAN VOIT svoit@themountainpress.com SEYMOUR - Fire slightly damaged an historic Seymour home built in the 1830s that was once part of a farm that included a boarding house for stagecoach riders and one of the area's first schools. The unoccupied house on Boyds Creek Highway, known as the Wayland Home, was damaged in an early morning fire Wednesday. The fire, which appears to have been deliberately set, affected the entryway of the structure and spread a bit to the porch, Seymour Fire Chief Chuck Godfrey said, but the house escaped serious damage. "The house is still standing," he said. "There was no structural damage." Godfrey said it is being investigating as an arson fire. Officials got the call around 1 a.m. and had the fire contained in about 10 minutes, he said. The house was built by the great-great-grandfather of Sevierville's Harvey Wayland. The property remained in the Wayland family until 1906, when it was sold to Andrew Jackson Temple, grandfather of Sevier County Commissioner Jimmy Temple. A mill then was established on the farm. "That house is a real piece of history," Temple said. The house sits close to the highway. Behind it used to be a boarding house where stagecoaches stopped, but it burned down many years ago, Harvey Wayland said. The 600-acre farm also was home to Rocky Springs Academy, one of the early schools in the area. That structure later became Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church. "I never did spend any time at the house," Wayland said. "Jimmy Temple's grandfather bought it before I was born. I know the house means something because of its history." Wayland said his ancestors were from Germany, and his great-great-grandfather required all of the children and other family members seated for a meal to speak only German at the table. "He was a well educated man for his day," Wayland said. "That's one reason he started the academy." Temple said 40 of the 60 acres were sold in 2003. Wayland said his great-grandfather was killed by a bull in the pen behind the old stagecoach house. "He walked out with a basket of corn to feed some of the stock, and he turned his back on the bull. That infuriated the bull, which threw him in the air on his horns, killing my great-grandfather." [S34] In the Shadow of the Smokies, Smoky Mountain Historical Society, (1993), 215.
