MR. CHEVROLET- Tom Locke portrayed his grandfather, George B. Golightly, in the Hamilton County Historical Museum’s fifth annual Cemetery Walk Saturday in the IOOF Cemetery. Ruby Jones portrayed his wife, Frankie, well known for her weekly “Dink” column in The Hamilton Herald-News. Mr. Golightly was a prominent businessman and civic and church leader in Hamilton and was instrumental in the building of Hamilton County General Hospital and served as its first chairman of the board. He was a director of Perry National Bank and a charter member of Perry Country Club, where he could be found most Sunday afternoons. He operated Golightly Chevrolet for many years and bought the depot building when it was abandoned by the Cotton Belt Railway in 1941. Intending to build a new deadlership, he instead built his dealership encircling the depot at the corner of Highway 36 and Railroad Street. Staff Photo/Jeschke
