The Rev. Dave McCurry
The main reason prolific preacher and church planter Dave McCurry came to North Georgia from North Carolina after four of his children had died was to be near his sister, Becky Goswick, who was a celebrated character in her own right. The Rev. McCurry was the great-grandfather of Lillie Mae Green, soon to turn 98, co-founder with husband Frank of the venerable Green’s Grocery in Gainesville. Aunt Becky Goswick, as everyone knew her, had come to North Georgia’s gold country earlier with her father, who was a miner.
