Carroll D. Akridge
Carroll and Harold were on leave together probably sometime either in 1947 or 1948. Always practical jokers and fun-loving, they decided to have their picture made at a photographer's studio. The background in the picture is a backdrop. They knew that their mother, Nora, would not approve of them being in a bar (see the Wiskey [sic] sign over Harold's shoulder) so the purposely selected this background to poke fun at her. She was not amused, I was told.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

William Jack Akridge Sr. was born on November 17, 1931 in Mitchell County, Georgia United States, and died at age 31 years old on August 21, 1963 in Dougherty County. Family, friend, or fan, this family history biography is for you to remember Jack Akridge.
Harold David Akridge, Sr, was the second-oldest son of Carl Daniel Akridge and his wife, Nora Lee (Kelly) Akridge. He was less than 10 minutes younger than his fraternal twin brother, Carroll Daniel Akridge. Carroll and Harold were born in the small town known as Laney located in Mitchell County, Georgia in 1928. Sometime between 1935 and 1940, Carl Akridge moved his family to Hartsfield, Colquitt County, Georgia, just a few miles from where they were living. Both brothers were quick witted, fun loving, and hard working. Harold joined the Army Air Corp and Carroll joined the Navy at the end of World War II. Both had been working for many years by this time for their father, Carl, who was a blacksmith and automobile mechanic.
After Harold's time in the Army Air Corp, he returned to Colquitt County and married Bobbie Turner. They lived in Moultrie, Colquitt County, Georgia. They had four children. Harold was an automobile mechanic and worked for Wright Motor Company, the local Ford Dealership, before starting his own business with a business partner. At the time of his retirement, he was the sole owner and operator of Akridge Garage in Moultrie, Georgia.
The children of Carl and Nora Akridge are, in birth order: Mabel, Mildred, Hazle, Carroll, Harold, Jack, Lonzo, Robert, and Margaret.
