My grandfather served as Lawrence County's Sherriff around this time (around 1954) with my father as deputy. My grandfather died in 1979, and my father is actually 82 now, so I cannot get a lot of information that I am wanting. My father talks about this time in his life a lot, therefore, me being a scrapbooker, I would love to get as much information and possibly photos as I can to document and preserve for my family. My grandmother served as the jail's cook too. If anyone has any documents, photos or anything else relevant that I might could get copies of, I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you just have a story to share of them with me, I'd love it.
My grandfather's name: Willie Thigpen
My father's name: Clipper Thigpen
My grandmother' name: Jim Ella Thigpen
Please let me know if you have any information at all, I will appreciate the smallest of tidbits!
Thanks!
Theresa
