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. Belle
