2024 FOWC-Cemetery

Familial Grounds

This FOWC is in alignment with the latest of my dad’s slides I have recently (just yesterday) digitized. They are of the familial burial grounds of my paternal grandparents.

Waters’ Headstone
of my paternal grandparents

My father took them on one of our trips to visit his dad, his brother, his sister and her family. The location of the cemetery can be walked to through a path off of the street below my grandparents home.

Alma J.
Jan. 18, 1904 – Aug. 3, 1970
My paternal grandmother

This was the first time we (my immediate family) had been to the cemetery since my paternal grandmother’s passing in 1970. When she passed, my dad was the only one of us that could fly back for her funeral service.

This view allows us to see both the Headstone and my paternal grandmother’s Foot Marker in the Greenlawn Cemetery.

Prefer Crashed, Smashed, or Public Service Doors?

Rummaging through my dad’s old slides I ran across these pictures of a crashed and smashed car where you could clearly see the damage done to the doors, the windows, the hood, and trunk of the car.

Crashed & Smashed
Car Doors

I am not sure who the car belonged to, but I know the children who are shown looking at the crashed and smashed vehicle. They are my cousin and my brother. I do not even want to consider what happened to the person or persons who might have been in the car. By looking at those car doors it would have been a miracle if anyone survived without injuries.

Crashed Car
Trunk “Door”

I believe I would prefer the Public Service District truck which drives around Great Falls performing the necessary maintenance and repairs making sure the Town of Great Falls is safe, secure, and it proper working order.

Long Hilly Road to Great Falls

US 21 North

This long straight hilly 15-mile stretch of US 21 is the road that leads us to Great Falls, South Carolina coming out of Georgia. We would travel this road every three (3) to five (5) years to visit my dad’s parents and his brother and sister’s families. My dad grew up in Great Falls, but left when he joined the US Navy. It was only on these long summer trips that I was able to spend time with my dad’s family. Often when we came back to visit we would all go visit an attraction together on one of the days we were here.
