Gilbert "Gill" Hudgins (1869-1942) and his brother-in-law, James Comstock,
(1880-1958) were partners in the grocery business. They occupied
the store building previously used as the Gus Bernard grocery store. Gill Hudgins is standing on the right with his ever-present cigar. Jim Comstock is in the derby hat. This store building was constructed in 1859 by William Bond Moore, founder of Mooresville. |
