Flowery Branch receives new downtown timepiece
1102clock
Flowery Branch city officials and visitors linger following the dedication of a new clock Thursday in the downtown area. The clock was donated to the city by Claire Hamlin and her late husband, Steve.
FLOWERY BRANCH — When the pedestal clock arrived at her house in 2000, Claire Hamlin questioned her husband about one thing: Why didn’t the metal plate above the clock bear the family’s name? Instead, it read: “Flowery Branch.” Steve Hamlin said he envisioned the couple someday donating the timepiece to the city, where the couple lived.
