John T. and Drusilla Wilson Huey had a daughter named Minta Huey. Minta married Styles Medford. They had nine children, 5 girls and 4 boys. From the boys, which one(s) I am not sure, several local entrepreneurs or local businessmen were descended from Styles and Minta: To name a few: Norman Medford Funeral Home, The Book Store (Dempsey Medford, Medford Insurance Company, and Medford’s Grocery owned by Jake Medford. As teenagers we joked saying Jake Medford had high standards on selling beer to youth: You had to be high enough to scoot your money across the counter

Mike, I know the store you are talking about, it wasn't Jake Medford's. If Joe Jenkins reads this he will know. Jake Medford's store was on Bells Ferry at what would become Barrett Parkway.
