John Gregory Eady family, 1897

John Gregory Eady (1861-1939) changed his name from the more well-known "Eaddy". He ran one of the first mercantile stores in Johnsonville and operated a turpentine plant. He's standing here with his wife, Elizabeth Ann Johnson Eady (1872-1962) and children John and Hill Eady. In the background is the three-year-old home that was later sold to S.B. Poston. This house was eventually destroyed by fire in 1935.
