Thanks John, I'm inclined to believe you, since your grandfather was there. I'm also sending this one to the list, so I'm leaving the other messages in. I thank you for your help, I would probably be looking in Twigg Co still. Now I need to go into Ben Hill to search more. <g> Ali Ingle --- "John R.

My grandfather was the Shop Superintendent when he retired in 1937, having worked for the AB&C (later Atlantic Coast Line and now CSX) from 1897-1937. John R.

I also have a picture of him if anyone is interested. I wonder; why is this going to your address and not the list? Should I have put the list address in place of yours? Again, thanks for the info Ali Ingle -------------------------------------------------------- --- "John R. Clarke" <jclarke@rose.net> wrote: FYI, Fitzgerald is in Ben Hill County, GA. Twiggs county is about 60-70 miles north of Ben Hill County, GA, as the crow flies....... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
