This was originally identified as the George Swindell House, but that has been updated. Margie Love writes: In 1955, we began walking to Donald Baptist Church and this house was occupied by Russ and Bernie Flowers. George Swindell lived in a small white house on the other end of this highway. He was not Charlie Swindell’s brother. Russ Flowers was Mrs. Charlie Swindell’s (Ruth) father. Mrs. Bernie was my Sunday School teacher.

Margie- Thanks. I’m updating to reflect this information.
I stand corrected Ms Margie, Mama corrected me not long before she passed away. Sorry for not making a correction. Thanks!
My mama says this was Mr. George Swindell’s house. He lived there with his family when she married and moved to Donald in 1956. The road that runs thru Donald from Hwy. 301 to Hwy. 196 is named for him. His brother Mr. Charlie lived on the opposite side of the road. My Aunt Peggy has lived there for the past 40 yrs.
Thanks, Becky!
My grandmother’s last name was Long….just wondering about the county….she would be 130yrs. if living…..wow!
