Ashburn Public Schools Bank Statement, February 1935

Ashburn, Historical Documents

Found on the upper floor of the Wiregrass Farmer building, these were part of papers that belonged to Frank M. Tison, Sr. (February 4, 1881 – November 1, 1951). He not only co-owned and worked at The Wiregrass Farmer as the business manager, he was also the Secretary and Treasurer of the Ashburn Public Schools Board of Trustees.

Within one envelope is a statement from Ashburn Bank dated February 26, 1935 with 17 checks that were written, cashed, and returned to F.M. Tison. While a majority of the checks are for January salaries of teachers who worked at the school, there are some other miscellaneous checks written out to vendors such as Mitchell Stewart Hardware Co. and a whopping electric bill of $1.04 to Georgia Power Co.
