Charles Chandler II, Grandpa and Brother

The brother of the sisters what lived in Harper were Charles Chandler II. After he finished up at Ole Miss he settled in Memphis. Some folks say Memphis are the largest city in Mississippi. Of course Memphis are in Tennessee and they is just funning around. Chandler II got to be real successful in the printing business. His company made class annuals and football programs as well as all the stuff for weddings and parties. They also published books, mostly Christian and political. And Charles Chandler II become a very rich man. His son Charles Chandler III ain't of much importance to this tale except he were a no good drunk and womanizer what run off with a low-moraled woman and left his family with nothing. Grandpa Chandler couldn't sit by and let that happen so he give his son's wife a easy job in his office and paid all expenses for his grandson, Charles Chandler IV. So as you can see he had some pull when it come to telling Charles IV what he could or couldn't do. When Charles IV knocked down that confederate statue, grandpa got real hot and shipped him off to Harper, Mississippi (where he had growed up, where his sisters lived at, and what are my town too.) This all happened around 1956 or so.
Memphis are known for its bbq. I am adding on a picture of some ribs like what they serve up there.
