Scrapbook
A rare collection of photos and stories reaching back into the roots of the history of Alma, Bacon County, Georgia, and into a family whose members were shaped by a culture as old as the South.
Boys and girls were raised not to cuss, smoke, or drink whiskey; the boys grew into men who cussed, smoked, and downed whiskey regularly (some even making their own homebrew). The girls only cussed when the men were not present, smoked by hiding it, and were closet alcoholics.
The role of keeper of family stories gets traded around in many families. Olidia Anne Waters Carter was assigned that role in our family. At the time, no one asked her if she wanted the job, we just assigned it to her. We must have known on some level that she would be very good at the job. Thus, her preservation of our Grandmother's Scrapbook which, to the best of our history searching, has to be over eighty years old.
