The Johnsonville Gin Company was located by the railroad track in Johnsonville near the corner of Pine Street and Railroad Ave. At the time this photo was taken in 1962, it was run by Ezra Eaddy and his son James (Bozy) Eaddy, farmers from Leo Community. This lot is now a wooded spot, but passers by can still see the old cotton bail press still standing in the trees.
This 1960s era photograph depicts several Broadway Street businesses of the time, including Prosser's Department Store and the old Gulf station. The blue pickup was a 1958 or 1959 Chevy that belonged to David Poston. It is parked in front of the hardware store. The car behind it was Mrs Doris Caraway's yellow and white 1958 Ford. The third car was Mr Moss Daniels Ford from the early 1950's. The convertible's owner is unknown.
