Children of WB and Bertha Tingle

I can't find in my limited collection many very early pictures of the Children of WB and Bertha Tingle. I don't think the camera made its way into the family until perhaps the late 40's or early 50's. Consequently most absent from the pictures are WB Jr., Edith, and Neal. But the younger children--Carl, Addie, Mamie, and Douglas--appear more frequently. I have a better sample of all as adults and in color no less.

Bertha Mines Tingle

I don't remember a whole lot about Mrs. Tingle though I spent the better part of my first ten years living next door to her. I think by the time I got back to Ora she had pretty much had it with kids. She yelled at me frequently for running through the corn rows. I don't know why I wanted to run through them, but I did. And she didn't explain to me why I shouldn't. I do remember she was handy at killing, plucking, and frying a chicken and according to WB Jr. she was pretty handy with a switch too when he was growing up. Rumor has it that she smoked, and that if somebody showed up unexpectedly she would hide the cigarette in her big old cast iron stove. I can't image the life she had. Seven children under sometimes grueling condition. According to WB Jr. when they lived down near Indian Springs, GA, she had to walk a half a mile every day to a well to bring back water.

Early Tingles

Daniel Archibald Tingle, 1835-1917, was married to Mary Mahala Treadwell. She was born in 1837 and died in 1909. The group picture here is thought to have been taken on the event of her death. The empty chairs signify the departed. Steven Green Tingle is also in this picture, I do believe. In all likelihood the picture was taken at the Tingle Place on Tingle Road.

William Berner Tingle, 1892-1946

William Berner Tingle, 1892-1946, was the son of Steven Green "Pappy" Tingle, 1861-1929. WB married Berta Elizabeth Mines. The had seven childen: WB Jr.; Neal; Edith; Addie; Carl; Mamie; Douglas. WB spent his early years in and around Woodville. Unable to make ends meet in Geogia, he moved with family to Ora, South Carolina in the early 30's. A tractor reared-up on him when in Georgia, as I have been told, producing chronic back pain. I was told also that he suffered bad hemmeroids. In Ora he ran a mobile saw mill and farmed as necessary.

Tingle Road

Time or inaccurarcy seem to be wiping out Tingle Road. I provide documentation here that Tingle Road was Tingle Road from north to south and not, as google maps says, Teagle Road at the north end and Gregory Road at the south and in the middle. Perhaps google maps is just plain wrong or maybe locals have changed the name of the road officially. I don't know. But the old Tingle Place, home of Archibald Daniel Tingle, father of Stephen Green "Pappy Tingle, was located on Tingle Road. I was able to find the remains of some chimneys. Please Note: I believe google maps has screwed up. While on the map the north end of Tingle road is called Tingle Road, a search of google maps brings up a TINGLE ROAD not only in Forsyth, where the Paran Church is, but also in Jackson, where the so called Teagle road is. Tingle Road still exists.

Cemeteries and Churches

Here are pictures of the four churches that, to my mind, define Tingle Territory. Three are in Georgia: The Paran Baptist Church, near Blount, Georgia at the south end of Tingle Road; The Mount Vernon Baptist Church, just over the county line in Butts County near the north end of Tingle Road; the New Hope Baptist Chruch in Greashamville, Georgia; and finally the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Ora, South Carolina. Daniel Tingle, son of John, is said to be buried in the first; Daniel Archibald, son of Daniel in the second; Stephen Green, son of D.A. in the third; and William Berner, sone of Stephen Green in the last.

Pappy Tingle's House

Steven Green "Pappy" Tingle's house was built in the early 20th Century on Peachtree Road in Woodville Georgia. The Webbs bought this house in about 1945. I first visited in the summer of 1963. I remember sitting in the heat thinking I was in the middle of nowhere. But they had a scuppernong arbor and I enjoyed them. When Carol and I visited the house in 1994 or 1995, the Webbs let us take a look around inside. The house has a corridor running right through the middle of it straight from the front door to the back. On both sides of the corridor are two big rooms. I think the high ceilings and the corridor down the middle helped to defend against the heat. In those days, the kitchen was detached from the house. But the old kitchen was long gone. I do not know who owns the house now. Mrs. Webb died a few years back and Mr. Webb, suffering a prolong illness, ended his life out back of the house.

Grandma Tingle's House

In the years before my return visit to Ora, SC in 1994, I think it was, a had this painful reoccurring dream. I would be down South in the dream; I could tell by the red dirt, and I would be on this road and I knew that just as soon as we went around the corner I would see Grandma Tingle's House. But every time I rounded that bend in the road, I didn't see the house and I would wake up. Since my visit in 1994 I have never had that dream again. These pictures were taken on different years, and at different times of year during different years and by different people. They begin to capture the many moods of Grandma Tingle's place.
