Family retains ties to historic Hall farmland
0629Wileys Guy Yvonne
Bud and Yvonne Wiley continue to work the land on their Hall County farm as her ancestors did going back to the mid-19th century.
Nancy Terrell Furr hid in a cabin during the Civil War while Union soldiers plundered the countryside, picked all the pears from a tree nearby and killed the only cow she owned. Her husband, Gus, was away, fighting for the Confederacy, dying in 1863 in Richmond. Nancy, a strong and spirited woman, gave birth to their only child, a daughter, after her husband left for the war.
