Re: PURPLE TOP
I remember going with daddy to West Esso down by City Lake when I was a youngster. Later, Billy and Tommy moved to the location that is now occupied by Hardees. I remember having a set of tires put on my 1980 Mercury Monarch Ghia sometime during the early 80's, probably about 1982. I traded that car...

Re: MARY LOVE CEMETERY
I have visited this cemetery many times as my great grandparents are buried there (WN Cosby, Sr. and Lorena Folkes Cosby). There must have been a time when it became somewhat rundown as I recall my grandmother talking back in the late 1950's or early 60's that she did not want to be buried there be...

Re: Seaboard Terminal and Hotel
On the subject of the Cosbys, when mom, dad, and I lived on Spring Street in the 1960's, our back yard adjoined theirs. They lived on Wilmington Street and I recall Mrs. Cosby having a beautiful back yard and rose garden. There is a picture my mother took of myself and the granddaughter of Mrs. Iren...

Re: Gulledge Motors 1958
I wonder how many British cars they sold? Not many I am thinking. However, I believe I recall a Morris Minor sedan like the one pictured here being driven in Hamlet many, many years ago - probably back in the 1960's. Although my dad liked Studebakers, he did drive mid, late-fifties, and early 60's M...

A very good picture of the Campbell Pharmacy Staff. I hope Linda Bryant Saunders see this. I saw Linda the other day and she is doing well. Mr. Clarkin is deceased as well as Mr. Campbell and Orene Reynolds. I am not sure about Mary Killough. The article and picture is from 1962. Mother worked for M...

Bill: You are absolutely right in describing Mrs. Campbell as the epitome of a fine Southern lady. Both Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were fine people and always very kind to me. My mother worked for Mr. Campbell for many years at Campbell Pharmacy. The pharmacy was initially located on Hamlet Avenue and la...
