Hello All.... I'm putting together a book on my mother's family (Harris) and I wanted to include some history of the Fiery Gizzard. Does anyone know the story of how it got it's name? Thanks! Donna
Donna, My grandfather, Alfred Philip Anderson ( also known as "A.P." & "Uncle P" ) was first married to Sarah Harris. They lived in the Gizzard. They had either 2 or 3 children. I have info for some of their descendants. Would like to see something written about them. My mother was born in the Gizzard in 1902. The only story I ever heard was the one about the Indian chief, and the turkey gizzard being thrown into the creek. I have called around about the dairy truck. There was a Loyd's Dairy in Stevenson, AL. I spoke with Pat Guess whose husband George was a plant manager. He can only remember one driver's name, Talley, and remembers there were 2 or 3 others but not their names. Mr. Gonce had a dairy farm in So. Pittsburg, but did not have a processing plant, or trucks. Hope this helps. You can contact me directly if you wish.
