Our community lost a good neighbor and friend Sunday morning when L.G. Tilley died at the Forsyth Memorial Hospital. L.G. got the Double Creek Fire Department organized and was chief there several years. Without him, we would not have our fire department in our community. L.G. will be missed by all who knew him. We extend sympathy to his family.
