Notes:

•  Co-Chairman, Red Cross Drive, 1947. - Record

•  Manager of the Sterchi Brothers Store in Huntsville. It was the largest furniture store in north Alabama. The Sterchi chain had several stores in the South making it the largest home furnishers in the region. - Sesquicentennial

•  Deacon, First Baptist Church of Huntsville, Alabama - Bobo & Johnson

•  Elk Esquire - Elks

•  Married Jessie Wade Mays May 18, 1924 (We are not certain of information. See Editor's Note) - Ancestry.com

•  The information viewed in Ancestry.com and other genealogical sites seems incongruent and possibly faulty. We may have mixed people by the same name. But since he was manager for a chain of furniture stores, he might have been connected with several cities. If our readers have more reliable information regarding George (possibly S.) Goodwyne, we are interested in seeing it. - Editor's Note
