This is a photo of members of Sharon Baptist Church at the time of McDonough’s Sesquicentennial celebration in 1971. They are (front) Jason Jeffares, (center, L to R) Rick Jeffares, Chuck Sims, Wesley Hollingsworth, Billy Vandiver, (back, L to R) Allen Vandiver and Wayne Sims. Laura Richardson wrote, “This photo made me smile. This was Henry County’s sesquicentennial. My dad, George Hart, Jr. was the mayor of Stockbridge at the time. The cute little one in the front is my little brother, Barry Hart. Our entire family and community dressed up for the occasion in period dress. What a fun memory! Thanks for sharing.”
