Enterprise Album

Malcolm Spence created quite a sensation Christmas Day when he posted this photo of himself and his great grandfather at the Barnesville G.C. Murphy’s Store during the Christmas Holiday Season in the 1960s!

Spence wrote, “for those of you from Barnesville, this photo may spark a memory. G.C. Murphy’s at Christmas time in the late 60’s with my great-grandfather Pearley Giesey in the fedora.”   

Thank you, Malcolm, for sharing this piece of hometown history!

Local history publisher extraordinaire, Mike Duve, who has produced several Barnesville Coloring Books also shared Barnesville Christmas past with an array of Christmas advertisements published in the Barnesville Enterprise in 1978. The six-minute Video may be viewed online  .
