DYETOWN: Evidently this area received its name from a family of Dyes who lived in the area. In the past, Dyetown was most often pinpointed by the Armstrong House that was located on a prominence at the intersection of Sawmill Road and Hickory Heights Road south of Hickory Grove. The old two-story farmhouse, sometimes called the “Armstrong House” was built and owned by Jeremiah Moss prior to the twentieth century. John Bratton’s home now stands near the site of the Moss home.

The Yorkville Enquirer reported on Feb. 27, 1889 – “the home of Mr. George Moss and his wife, was destroyed by fire along with all their possessions. They also loss two children ages 4 and 2, who were home alone at at the time of the fire.”
