Myrtie Edwards retires
Myrtie Edwards thought she
would work for Southern Bell
for a little while and then get
married. Forty-six years later,
the Griffin native, known to
hundreds of telephone
customers, retired from her job
as a business office supervisor
for Southern Bell.
“I just didn’t see any point in
leaving my job when I enjoyed
it so much,” she explained. Last
month Mrs. Edwards did retire,
and recalled some of her fon
dest memories of Griffin and of
the telephone company.
“When I started working for
Southern Bell in 1925 I expected
to get married soon. I was the
only clerk in the business office
above a case on Hill street.
There were only 1,600
telephones in Griffin then,” she
remembered, “and we per
sonally addressed each
telephone directory!”
Mrs. Edwards was supervisor

over 12 employees and worked
closely with many of Griffin’s
16,000 telephone subscribers
when she retired.
“I have always enjoyed the
work of talking with customers
about their telephone bills,” she
said. “The customers have,
with only a few exceptions, been
very understanding. Every day
has been a challenge.”
She could not in loyalty pick a
favorite time of her career.
“I have had so many nice
managers to work for,” she
explained, “that I just can’t
choose a favorite time. I have
expecially enjoyed meeting new
people and trying to get them
the best service I can.”
Her husband, Francis, has
spent an equal number of years
at his job of clerk for Dundee
Mills. The two plan to visit
relatives in Florida until Mrs.
Edwards gets used to not going
to the office everyday.
Her former employer, Griffin
Manager Albert Harrell, says
Mrs. Edwards is greatly missed
at the office.
“We just don’t get many
people as dedicated to serving
the customer as Myrtie Ed
wards,” he said.
