Sent: Jan 25, 2010 4:51 PM I have been posting about my mother's family but I want to say something about my father's family. My Dad was a Mason as were his four brothers and his father. Two of the brothers were Shriners. Their father was a doctor who came to Wilkes Co. Ga. from the Anderson area of South Carolina in the late 1880's. I have one of his medical books. His family history goes back to the Royal Scots. My Dad and a brother opened a small general store in the little town after WW1, they had an assortment of merchandise, from needles and thread to lanterns and horse collars. There were few businesses, a Bank and a Post Office facing the dirt street that crossed the one paved road through town.

I'm writing about TIGNALL, Wilkes Co. Ga. Washington is the County Seat. Grandpa's office was first floor front facing the square. The were shops, stores, etc facing the three sides of the square with parking around the square. One block had a drug store, a small restaurant, a shoe repair shop and a theater on the corner. A movie was shone each night at 7 o'clock except on Sunday, nothing on Sundays. A volunteer pianist would play before and during the movie which wasn't very long. Washington is a quiet town, lots of old Colonial homes and pre Civil War homes. Many restored to their former style and others falling apart for lack of care. I have kin living in the area. A first cousin was Chief of Police back in the 60's and owned the Buick Agency.
