In an effort to preserve some of the history of our community, The Times is displaying photos of Henry County from the past. If you can tell us anything about the photo shown above, use this form. In the next edition, we’ll reveal the details of the picture and notes readers send to us.

Thanks to Sandra Hornsby Davis for letting us use this photograph. She said her grandfather, Ernest Morris and his mother, Lucy McGarity are in the front row. Buddy Upchurch wrote, “This is a photograph of my great-grandparents Gamaliel Milton (Mit) McGarity and Beattris (Bea) Heath McGarity. They had nine children, all born in Henry County between 1872 and 1899. The house and farm were about 4 miles southeast of McDonough on McGarity Road. The house is still occupied today. It is now painted white and sits on the right before the intersection of McGarity and Bethany Road. My father, M.J. Upchurch was born there in 1911. The nine McGarity children are Mollie Adela, Lucy Vera, Harvey Wilson, Homer Seaborn, Howard Ector, John Dow, Nora Bell, Lizzie Angie (my grandmother) and William Joseph. I believe the others are the wives and children of the two eldest sons.”
