Does anyone know how Doublerun, Georgia came to have its name? I know there was one set of train tracks beside it. Also one store and one filling station. A good distance away was a two room school. Bush School. Bush school had a 4F club for the girls. I was too young to be in it, but I have a photo of myself with my sister, and the other 4F girls and one of my little brothers.. Would like to know the names of these girls. Some were Mogene Moore, Paulette Johnson, and a girl name Freddie. One had family living near Brooks and Bill Martin. This was in the late 1940s. I think the teacher/principal was Ruth Kiker. I thought she was a mean person. Made me read aloud once when she knew I was so hoarse I could barely speak. The kids laughed, but I finished reading my paragraph. Guess she needed some laughter/distraction in her boring day/life. When I was a child we lived in Doublerun for some months and the train tracks were right behind our 'house'. We small ones would sneak straight pins and put them on the rails so when the train passed over them we'd have 'fairy scissors'. Mama would scold us. (she was the one who told us about fairy scissors) Said we'd make the train fall over on the house. We never put anything other than these pins on the rails. You could seen through the boards of this house. There was no ceiling either. Just the rafters then the tin roof. Mama would cover us with everything she could find to keep us warm at night. A job since there were 7 children at home then. This is where we had our first experience having an 'outhouse'. First experience with a wash pot, 2 room country school, straw broom, riding in a mule drawn wagon. It was great to a 6 yr old. This morning am wondering if Doublerun is still in existence and how it's changed. >From what I remember we were the only family living there. No one else would have lived in that tumbling down house except a family coming down from Atlanta who didn't know any better! Jeanette Johnson Martin
