They remembered the first buggy that was ever used in Randolph county and said it was regarded as a curiosity. Most of the hauling was done on “lizzards.” The people went from here to Columbus [GA] or Wetumpka [Elmore Co., AL] to do all their marketing. How times have changed! [From The Roanoke Leader (Randolph County, Alabama), 15 Apr 1903, p.3] ------- Wilson Lumpkin HEFLIN, 21 Mar 1828--13 Aug 1910, William A. HANDLEY, 15 Dec 1834--23 Jun 1909, Both interred in Cedarwood Cemetery, Roanoke, Randolph Co., Alabama.
