Love these pics. That was my granddaddy ‘s store in Hilton! My brother had the side painted several years ago for his travel park which is right down the road.
That was the old Knighton store. I grew up near there.
This was my grandaddy Oscar Franklin Knighton’s store. My mother and her siblings still own the land.
Intriguing. Have not visited there, but I plan to soon. My father’s family (Wiley) was from Early County. Most are buried at Sowhatchee Baptist Church.
wonderful remembrances..joan
Thanks for visiting, Joan!
A brave sentinel of yesteryear Hilton .
