Hi Virginia... Bill Thomas worked at Ligon Nationwide for many years in the heavy haul department. My husband is a long distance driver leased to Ligon and worked with and knew him well. At the time of his death he was living in the house that Arnold Ligon and his first wife, Sue Trice [my husband's sister] lived in for many years. Both Sue and Arnold died in 1984. I think that's when Bill bought the house. Ligon moved it's headquarters from Madisonville to Jacksonville, Fla a couple years ago. Some of the employees moved there but I think that most stayed here [Hopkins Co] and found other employment. Be glad to do any lookups you need in Hopkins Co. nt -----Original Message----- From: Virginia A.
