Miss Bavier, a New York native, died in 1989 at the age of 86. She lived her last 17 years at Siler City, N.C., about 35 miles east of Denton FarmPark.</p> <p>Her furniture, the car and other property were brought by moving van in 1972 from California to the home she bought in Siler City. She obtained a North Carolina driver's license and drove the car to the grocery, bank and post office. In later years, she employed a chauffeur who tried to convince her to get a newer car. Miss Bavier's preference for her beloved Studebaker was never swayed.</p><!-- EndContext --> <!-- BeginContext name="image-gallery" q="*" --> <div class="galleryImage"> <div class="imageFrame"><a href="/node/17221"><img src="/files/images/Java55_AuntBea'sStudebaker_03-July-08_029.thumbnail.JPG" title="Aunt Bea's Studebaker" alt="Aunt Bea's Studebaker" /></a></div> <div class="imageRating imgRating_0_0"> <span>Rating: 0.0</span> </div> <div class="imageTitle"> <a href="/node/17221">Aunt Bea's Studebaker <!--&raquo;--></a> </div> <div class="imageAuthor"> <a href="/user/438">Java55</a> </div> </div> <!-- EndContext --> <p><a href="http://share.triangle.com/node/17221">read more</a></p> http://share.triangle.com/node/17221#comment 38th Annual Southeast Old Threshers Reunion Davidson County Denton Events and Celebrations North Carolina Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:32:14 -0400 Java55 17221 at http://share.triangle.com
