Mr. Finlayson

This photo came from an old box of keepsakes from my South Carolina relatives.  This is Mr. Burruss Finlayson who died back in June 4, 1950.  He's my grandfather.  I've heard how Mr. Finlayson like smoking cigars, but this is the first photo I recall ever seeing him smoking one.  Though I never met him, I like this fellow.

This image was taken in front of his home in Cheraw, South Carolina on Market Street.  The Burruss Finlayson place was located directly across the U.S. Post Office on Hwy 1 in old Cheraw.
