Mosely Building, Circa 1910, Jakin

The right side of this building served as the Mosely Drug Company from 1910-1927. The left side was a general store, judging by the sign advertising Peters Shoes.

Lillian Gallatin recalls: You’re right – this was a General Store owned and operated by Harry Mosely. ‘Mr. Harry’ kept a box full of penny candy in his store and gave a piece to all the little kids that came into the store. His sister ‘Miss Willie’ Mosely was the first grade school teacher at Jakin School and his brother Clark was a banker in Donalsonville. My dad was a sharecropper on Mr. Clark’s farm. They were all good people but Mr. Harry was my favorite.
