Mr. D. R. Flenniken ran a large general store in the vicinity of John McMeekin’s second generation Winnsboro Furniture company started by his father Hayne McMeekin in the late 1940’s. In the left side of this facility, the Waldrop family operated their radio and television shop. [Information provided by J.M. Lyles] The Waldrop’s shop was next to the M.W. Doty and Son business.

Reminiscences of Old Winnsboro by P. Rion – 1903 states, “Col. Hugh Miller lived next to the Fairfield Hotel and David Campbell, the grandfather of W.S. Weir, lied on the vacant lot next to to W.H. Willingham’s and had a gin shop, under the white oak tree, opposite to the James R. Aiken lot now owned by W.H. Flenniken-“
