Grover, we called him GC, worked in construction most of his life. He worked out of Birmingham for a Birmingham company, Rust Engineering & Construction. He worked in Florida quite a bit when south Florida was developing. My memories of him are scarce but there are a few. He gave me my first puppy. My parents lived in Bay View, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham and GC and Aunt Evie lived in Birmingham. GC got the puppy from a co-worker and they brought it out in the evening. I had to crawl in the back floor board to get the puppy out from under the front seat. I was a little less than four years old.

GC chewed tobacco and always had a sharp pocket knife that he used to cut off a chaw. I can remember thinking just how good that looked. I was about six then. When I was 14, I bought a plug of Uncle GC's brand of chewing tobacco for $.12 and on the way home from the store, walking, I chewed some of it. I don't believe I've ever been so sick so quick in my life. Of course I survived and didn't tell my parents what the problem was but that ended my envy of GC Williams.

His daughters, Ophelia and Frances were considerable older than me. Ophelia was born in the spring of 1913 and my father, her cousin, was born in the fall of 1913. Ophelia's oldest son is about four years older than I am. She had another son that is about a year younger than I am. Frances did not have any children. Both Ophelia and Frances are dead now.

As time goes on, I may think of other things that would be of interest to you. One thing that I would like to know is where GC was born and about when did he move to Alabama. If you know any of this, please let me know. I guess I saw your grandmother at GC's funeral but that was in about 1943 or 1944 and I would not have even known who she was.

Thanks for the information,
Don Williams
