Green Briar — Lawrence E. Gulley

Green Briar...Its still standing today. Still as beautiful and as graceful as it was when cotton was king and there was still chivalry and honor among men. Green Briar shrouds a secret though. The chivalry and honor was just an illusion. The real heroes are heroines. Sylvia, Jessie, Sookie, Ebbie, and so many other strong women kept, fought, struggled, and schemed to keep the home fires burning while their men folks were off fighting for a lost cause. If you stand on the long front porch of the sentinel today, as it guards the graves at a nearby distance, and if you allow your mind to wander, you can still see, hear, and feel the majestic times gone by.
