Granddaughter Peggy Ice shared her memories of J.G. Wolling, Jr. in an e-mail, 23 Jan 2003:
"My grandfather was John George Wolling Jr, my grandmother was Kate Coleman Wolling...
My family visited our grandmother at Shelton many times in the early to late 1930's... We never
knew our Grandfather as he died when we were quite young. We spent many summer days playing in the road in front of the old house they lived in which has since been torn down, as the land now is a [national forest].....
My Grandfather ran a Bank and General store in Shelton. Both [of] which went out of business during the depression. We spent many happy days swinging in the front porch swing there and playing on the
hills around the old home. At this time there were a working train depot, and two general stores one on each side of the railroad tracks. One was run by a Mr. Shelton who we called uncle Shelt and the one on the other side of the tracks was the post office as well as a store..."
