Ethridge, Tennessee

Pic #1: A scene of Ethridge with the Depot and Stores. This was probably made around 1915 but looks much as I remember it when a boy in the late 30's and early 40's getting off of the Huckity Buck from Mt Pleasant to Ethridge to visit my grandmother, Anna Clifton, who lived just behind the Depot.

Pic #2: Box car of watermelons (The writing on the picture of the "car of mellons" was probably written by my grandmother Anna Clifton near the date given. She lived most of her 93 years in Ethridge.)
