That is the Rome Township Volunteer Fire Dept., and it has two stations, one on Rt 7 in Miller (formerly Millersport), and one on what is now County Road 107 near the eastern end of Beulah Lane (Old State Rt 243 that became County Rd 411 from the Lawrence County Fairgrounds to Beulah Baptist Church and Cemetery). County Road 107 was State Rt 7 until they opened the new bypass road from Proctorville east to near the Fairland East Elementary building. I was born in "47" and grew up 5 miles north of Proctorville. The old Rome Township High School stood where the Fairland East building now stands. The Proctorville Schools were merged with the Rome Township Schools to form the Fairland Local School District, with the first Fairland High School building opening about 1957. That building has been expanded and remodeled several times, and is now the Middle School In a message dated 1/31/2010 4:00:41 A.M.

Hey Don - Trying to get my bearings here, so let me just make sure I understand how the roads are numbered/named today. Are you saying that what was Rt 7 when are ancestors were living and probably when I was a kid in the 40's and 50's is now County Road 107? And the road (Beulah Lane/Rt 243) that curves around from the Fairgrounds to Rome Cemetery and back out to Beulah Bapt. Church and old Rt 7 is now County Rd 411? When you say that 107 "was State Rt 7 until they opened the new bypass road", are you referring to the bypass road as being "new" way back when it was first built, or is there another new bypass road in that area? It was easier when I was young and being carted around by adults. I just recognized what roads my relatives' houses were on, but I didn't know or need to know the names of the roads. ;-) Thanks, Nancy Edwards - Georgia - On Jan 31, 2010, at 5:55 AM, Lawcoloreman@aol.com wrote: > That is the Rome Township Volunteer Fire Dept., and it has two > stations, > one on Rt 7 in Miller (formerly Millersport), and one on what is now > County > Road 107 near the eastern end of Beulah Lane (Old State Rt 243 that > became > County Rd 411 from the Lawrence County Fairgrounds to Beulah Baptist > Church > and Cemetery). > County Road 107 was State Rt 7 until they opened the new bypass road > from > Proctorville east to near the Fairland East Elementary building.
