Thacker – Grigsby Telephone Company Inc.

The Thackers have been involved in the telephone business since early in 1919 when the late Robert Thacker (uncle of the present manager) bought a section of telephone line from Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Company.

At the time of this sale there were nine telephones on the system.
