PalmettoPathos

I was rummaging through a bureau filled with old news clippings, dead batteries and broken radios and stumbled across a container filled with all the minutiae a household collects and never throws away. A few old pennies, odd buttons and safety pins. Dried out pens, tie tacks and a spool of thread with a needle.

Near the bottom I found a small brass tag. Upon examination I found my Grandmother, Annie Laurie Jones Smith’s SC Drivers License, with expiration date of June 30, 1941.

I don’t know that much about my Grandmother, as she died before I was born, but I know she was a nurse. At this time my Grandfather was in the trucking business and on the road a lot, so Annie Laurie would have driven herself to work and to take care of the business of the household.  I posted a rare photo of her in this post.

The obverse reads:
“EXPIRES JUNE 31, 1941
MRS ANNIE J SMITH
GLENN SPRINGS, S C
SOUTH CAROLINA DRIVERS LICENSE”

Obverse, SC Drivers License

The reverse reads:
“WHITE FEMALE DARK
BLUE 30 135 5-7
169847 6-30-37
S.C. STATE HIGHWAY DEPT.
MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION”

Reverse- SC Drivers License
