Abstract:

This collection of unusual local stories reveals that the first color movie in the county, "Wanderer of the Wasteland," was viewed at White's Theater in downtown Greenville in 1925. A short history is given of the trees on Fifth Street planted 1935/36 by Simon B. Tucker and a funny story of name changes of the Greenville streets. In addition, Mrs. Laura (Dudley) Griffin, a confederate widow lived in Ayden in 1955. Other widows included Mrs. Lanie A. Baldwin, Mrs. Willie P. Gardner, Mrs. Bettie J. Moore and Mrs. Lucy Worthington.
