Charles- did your father own a store in Smithville GA? I'm looking for information on Nettie Lee Goodroe ( maybe Antonette) her father was(Henry)Faunletroy Goodroe and mother was Sallie or Sarah Francis Harris- That is about all I know.. I remember in later 1950-60's visiting a half great aunt Annie in a old house in Smithville with a pecan tree in front.. She died in the 70's I think.. I have a picture from my dad that is either of him or my uncle robert with a bunch of family in front of the New York Store Chas Goodroe prop.... and some other SMithville marked cards and stuff and a few cards mentioning Netties Aunt Lula to her mother sallie in 1910. My dad had his arm cut off in a lumber mill accident near Smithville when he was about 9 (1925) and he went toMs Lillians (carter) hospital in Americus or Plains..
I also have Annie Neva Goodroes latin book from Andrews female college about 1901?? and my grandmothers Latin book when she was a Smithville HS in 1908.she married my grandfather Leland S Grant in Smithville and they had 4 sons total, Leland F (Bud), my dad Allen Crane, Issac Eugene( the only one still alive) and Robert Lee Grant.. I have pictures of kids named Roland and Garton Chesson Harris, Mimi and others ..but I know nothing!!
Please since you have both Goodroe and Harris
could you respond with more info? Anything would help
