My grandfather Evans was a farmer and carpenter and one of the stories I remember as a child was about him working on the court house during its construction. I was also told he was involved with the installation and later the maintenance of the clocks in the tower. Obviously I don't have documents or witnesses to prove the accuracy of the stories, but I'm proud to think he did have a part in the court house construction.

The man on the left, holding the tip of the eagle, is Dayton Birdsong. This picture was probably taken in the late 1930's or early 1940's.
