Abstract:
There were once several large clocks in Greenville at the turn of the Century. There were large clocks in Coward & Wooten’s Drug Store, W. L. Best Jewelry Store and the Hotel Bertha, all connected to a master clock at the Western Union Office. Some people remember the large clock on the sidewalk in front of the W. L. Best Jewelry Store. In 1912, a large clock was put into the cupola of the new County Court House. There was trouble during WWII blackouts to get the Court House clock lights shut off.
