Twice Told Tuesday: Hemphill Elected to City Council

September 7, 2010 Tonia Kendrick

Hemphill genealogyRobert M. Hemphill, proprietor of a local dry cleaning plant and an officer in World War Two, was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen at a special election held last Saturday.  Hemphill will fill the unexpired term of the late T. H. Moreland.

Fifty votes were cast for Hemphill, who had no opposition.

Thirty-four voters were in favor of changing the term of office of the mayor and aldermen from one to two years, the aldermen’s terms to be staggered so that an entirely new board will never go into office at the same time.  Twelve voters were against this change.

Thirty-nine voted in favor of having a three-man water commission.  Five voted against this issue.

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
