Malvern Williams and E.G. Conlee are both deceased.
Great photo! The only two I readily recognize are T. Charles and Jimmy Cunningham. Also, great photo of a very young and dapper Doc Vandiver.
I remember Billy Wayne Castleberry but not Kelly. Were they related?
Did Conlee operate the store on highway 45 south?

THANKS< BETTY
I don't think I ever knew E.G. Conlee. But, I did know the owner and operator of the grocery and service station on old Hwy 45. That was Johnny & Tranny Conlee. Their son Jerry and I were good friends growing up and he and his wife Linda, who currently serves as city clerk, still live in Baldwyn.
It was Johnny's store. E.G. was his brother. He was married to my aunt.
Can ya'll remember the monkey in a cage at Conlee's store? He was brought to Baldwyn by, I believe, Leland Thomas after some of the auto dealers who went to Chicago bailed him out of jail for being drunk. Or, so we were told.
He had an attitude!
