| R. L. JETER Grocery Store in downtown Greenfield. R.
L. Jeter
, on the left, was known as " Sunday Hat" Jeter, was a colorful local
character.
Robert E. L. Gallimore tells story....Bob (Sunday Hat) Jeeter went up
to
the bank and wanted to borrow $2,000 to buy a farm. The cashier
says:
"Well, I will call the board of directors together", and that made Bob
mad and he told them to go to hell, and he wired the Whitney Bank in
New
Orleans. He got a wire back saying that they would be glad to
loan
him the $2000, but could not understand why he had $9,674.72 on deposit
in their bank in New Orleans that had been there seven years and he had
never transferred it to a savings account. He had forgotten all
about
it.
