There is an error in the post I made about the book "Echoes and Shadows of Two Centuries" see below please: -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 04, 1999 11:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FW: [BRADSHAW] "Echoes and Shadows of Two Centuries" Becky, The copy should read as follows: "In 1846 Stanley became a part of Gaston County. For most of the early part of the 1800's, though, the county (not country) encompassing the town of Stanley was Lincoln." (received this from member of Stanley Historical Society today) Becky, There are 14 listings for Bradshaws in the index. Mention is made on page 224 about your dad and Alfred Hager having the Firestone Store in Stanley.
