I found this newspaper clipping in a box of family history information that belongs to my husband's grandmother. It is from the Central Alabama Advertiser dated June 26, 1974. The picture is a group of Thorsby boys from 1914. Included in the picture is my husband's great grandfather Milton Smith.
Thorsby is a town in Chilton County, Alabama.
Thorsby Alabama was settled by immigrants from Sweden, Norway, etc. Looking at the last names, this may well be mostly descendents of these original settlers. I checked, and even the Johnson's father was from Sweden (1910 FC). Most of these names have died out (or later moved back north). I descend from Johnsons, but not this family. Derric
