My name is Frank Beidler IV. I'm named after the gentleman (Frank Beidler I) that Warner Montgomery profiled in his article about Ferguson. In my mind I've tried to imagine what life would have been like in the hustle and bustle of Ferguson 100 years ago. It sure looks different now.

Thanks for bringing the past to life/light with the article. Thank you also for the kind words about my family. South Carolina is full of smiling faces/beautiful places for sure. We are committed to keeping it that way!
