Hello Bigtree and others! I have enjoyed reading your post and I do have answers to a lot of your questions

I was born in Molena, Pike Co. Ga. on Jan. 19th 1941 and lived there until 1966 when I moved to
Atlanta (Conyers) Ga. I went back for frequent visits until my mother died and I still go but not very often.
I knew the Knight family and they were well thought of in the community. The ones I knew best
were Ulyses, pronounced U-lus, Duke, pronounced Dook, Theodore, Called T.R. and Electra.
Ulus was a tall, thin medium complected man who lived in the family home on Hwy 18 two miles south of Molena. He was an extremely good natured man, always smiling, laughing and joking. Duke was same disposition as Ulus but much lighter skin, also tall and thin and beautiful smile. T.R went into the Army, dont know if drafted or volunteered, believe he was a
Military Police, when he came home he rode a motorcycle a lot. Electra was also tall, thin and
light complected. Educated, she taught school in the White Plains Church just south of Molena
off Hwy 18. During the 50's when Buick came out with the Electra series she bought the first on I ever say.
I also knew the Searcys and everyone else in Molena at that time but I wont take the time or space to try to write everything now, just wanted to make contact.

The property you referred to was south of Molena, there is a dirt road that runs directly in front
of the house. From that road the property line follows Hwy 18 toward Woodbury and goes to the Flint River, approx one mile frontage on Hwy 18 and goes back to the right of way of the
Southern Railway.
Hope this has been of some interest and help to all.
