THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH by scottbthompsonsrDec 01, 2010 | 0 | 13 |
THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH Keeping Up With the Baptists Competition is a good thing. In the race to have the biggest sanctuary in the Emerald City, the Methodists won. The Methodists built their first brick church in 1894, some 14 years before the Baptists completed their bigger and better churc... | 13 | 
THOMAS CUSACK by scottbthompsonsrNov 30, 2010 | 0 | 10 |
Here's Your Sign Why did Thomas Cusack paint his name on walls? And, why did he paint his name on one of our walls, far, far away from Cusack's home in Chicago, Illinois. Actually, Cusack didn't paint his name on the wall of a West Madison Street building. One of his legion of sign painters d... | 10 |

Momentary Passion It mattered not at all to Jackson Terry that he was the first and only member of his race to accomplish a feat in the 203-year history of Laurens County.

WILLIE HALL Making Montrose Proud If you were to say that Demaryius "Bay Bay" Thomas was the first native of Montrose, Georgia to play major college football and for a team in the National Football League, you would be wrong. That high honor goes to one Willie Hall, who although he lived only a... | 13 |

LT. SAMUEL COURSEN by scottbthompsonsrOct 12, 2010 | 0 | 12 |
An Intrepid American Hero Congressional Medals of Honor are shiny and blue. They come in a narrow black box. So, when Sam Coursen was handed one by General Omar Bradley, he really didn't know what was inside. You would have to excuse Sam. He was only fourteen months old. You see, the medal,... | 12 |
