Usher in the holiday season with an enchanting tour of historic homes and landmarks. The annual Oaklands Christmas Candlelight Tour of Homes is slated for Dec.5 from 4 to 8 p.m. The tour, sponsored by Oaklands Association will feature beautiful and historic private homes, distinctive churches and the graceful Oaklands Mansion. In the late 1860s, the Maneys subdivided and sold much of their front acreage into lots to create a residential neighborhood, originally called "Maney's Addition," thought to be Murfreesboro's fi rst "subdivision." It later became North Maney Avenue, which intersects present-day Main Street. Advertisements for lots in Maney's Addition appeared in local newspapers assuring prospective owners free access to the Maneys' spring. In the late 1880s, after she left Oaklands, Adaline Maney moved into a home in Maney's Addition known as "Big Holly." Today that home is the property of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bell and will be featured on the tour.

At its peak, Oaklands was the center of a 1,500 acre plantation and one of the most elegant homes in Rutherford County. Since that time, Oaklands has seen dramatic changes. Following the Civil War, it deteriorated from a majestic mansion to virtual ruins and, in the 1950's, its very existence Woodbury Lawn & Garden was threatened. The mansion was brought back from the brink of destruction, saved from the wrecking ball when a group of concerned ladies created Oaklands Association in 1959. Since that time, the Association has worked tirelessly to restore Oaklands to its 320 South McCrary Street original splendor and preserve its unique history. Today, local residents and visitors alike enjoy the mansion that has been lovingly | restored and brought back to its former glory. The proceeds of the Candlelight Tour of Woodbury 615-563-9910 Homes go toward the continuing preservation of this historic treasure.

Anyone who failed to bow and worship the image would be thrown into an immense, blazing furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were determined to worship the One true God only, and thus were reported to the king. Courageously they stood before him as the king pressured the men to deny their 563-5773 God. They said, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

To be eligible, you must be at least 62 years old, own your own home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be living there. You will also need to undergo a fi nancial assessment to determine whether you can aff ord to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. Depending on your fi nancial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the fi nancial assessment fi nds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied. Loan Details Around 95 percent of all reverse mortgages off ered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and off ered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s also have home value limits that vary by county, but cannot exceed $625,500. How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age, your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates. Generally, the older you are, the more your house is worth, and the lower the interest rates are, the more you can borrow. A 70-year-old, for example, with a home worth $250,000 could borrow around $136,000 with a fi xed-rate HECM. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at reversemortgage.org. You also need to know that reverse mortgages are expensive with a number of fees, including: a 2 percent lender origination fee for the fi rst $200,000 of the home’s value and 1 percent of the remaining value, with a cap of $6,000; a 0.5 percent upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) fee, plus an annual MIP fee that’s equal to 1.25 percent of the outstanding loan balance; along with an appraisal fee, closing costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Most fees can be deducted for the loan amount to reduce your out-of-pocket cost at closing. To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these. But in most cases, you cannot withdraw more than 60 percent of the loan during the fi rst year. If you do, your upfront MIP fee will be bumped up to 2.5 percent.
