Nix, Jim
The back of the photo states "Jim Nix, Ayersville
Blacksmith Shope" No date, circa 20's-30's (At that time,
Ayersville was no longer in Habersham Co, but had become part
of Stephens.)
A note from Jean: Ayersville was a loving, friendly
community; where people rarely locked their doors (back then).
It was in Habersham until Stephens was originated in 1905. It
at one time had a post-office; located at the Kytle home on an
enclosed porch. I remember the train passing through;
removing the outgoing mail from it's perch on the mail-pole;
and a duffle bag being thrown from the train containing the
in-coming mail; and the train never slowed down. One old
gentleman had a small "store" on his back porch; and another
family had a store on the highway. That was the "town" of
Ayersville
