Mike and I made a trip to my old home town today. We stopped at Whitesands Church, where my great grandpa and maw are buried. He was born 1833, died 1888. Couldn't read his wife's stone, only feel the letters. Born 1840, died 1904. On to New Hebron, where my Dad had the first of 3 5&10 stores.
Where his store, the grocery, barber shop, and movie house were is now a slab and a dollar general store.

We ate lunch in town and got to talk to an old couple who knew some of my folks. Told me if had got there earlier, could have got in a domino game with some real old men!

Couldn't find the old house. Where I think it was is a newer house with a trailer beside it.

On to Shivers grave yard, where my grand pa, maw,and aunts and uncles are buried,He was born 1867 died 1947. She died in 1933. I only remember seeing him once, an old man with a white beard.

One of my aunt's houses is still there, but someone has bought the land to grandpa's old place and close the pig trail. No one around there would answer their door. So lots of unanswered questions.

Only photos are of tomb stones, so if anyone gives a big rats ass, I'll post.
