Family wins farm back after long legal battle
The Woolridge family keeps control of their land after an out of court settlement with the Hildreth estate. They had borrowed $3,000 from Judge BF Gildreth in 1969 to plant cotton on 211 acres and rented additional land. They produced cotton and faced a $249,000 claim by heirs, with receipts only after 1969 when blacks gained political control in Greene County.
