My great-grandmother was the matriarch of not only our family, but of the entire town. It has a small police station, fire station, a few churches and stores. It is a clean little town which reminds one of Andy Griffith's Mayberry, but my memories of the town were of a good nature because it was the hub of where my entire family on both sides congregated.
