Julie writes: I am a Curry and my Father and his Brother Ran this store. The names of the brothers were Bernard Curry and Curtis Curry. The building is now being restored. It still belongs to the Curry family. Recently we went in the attic to remove an old trunk. It was so very neat. It is so sad that nothing now is left of Oconee except for a few old houses.
