Good Old Days 

Please Give the Photo a Few Minutes to Load (Large File)




















 

 

 

 

 

 

An old photo of Grundy in the early years was found recently by a Colorado resident in the process of selling a house. It portrays a different view of Grundy than most photos of the town depict, apparently taken somewhere on the hill behind and above the courthouse. Grundy, VA may be seen on the roof of one of the buildings as well as numerous vintage cars on the town streets. The photo was submitted by Genoa Strickland of Grand Prairie, Tx., formerly of Buchanan County. According to Strickland, her aunt lived at Leemaster until she married Estelle Yates Orrick, whose parents were Joseph and Rosa Yates. Truett, widowed, lives in Denver, CO.
