Telephone exchange began regular business March 6, 1897. In the list of customers was: Dr. J.S. Voyles number 59. Drs. Barnhill & Voyles number 57. (Thanks to Vicki Burress Roach for all this information on our relative, Dr. Voyles.) Ella Voyles Hardin is my great-grandmother. I now have most of the photos, greeting cards and a few letters from family members she collected over her 102 years living. When Ella's husband (B.F. Hardin) passed away in November, 1964,family members cleaned Ella's house and destroyed many items. They filled a 55 gallon drum full of papers, books, and all kinds of "junk" for the trash man. I saved as much as I could from that drum, and now treasure each item I could hide.
