The Ending of Ellenton?

"It's hard to understand why our town must be destroyed to make a bomb that will destroy someone else's town that they love as much as we love ours -
but we feel that they picked not just the best spot in the US- but in the world

We love these dear hearts and gentle people who live in our home town"

- handmade sign added to the town of Ellenton, SC sign in December 1950 by Mr. Bonner Smith, resident of Ellenton.

The sign was written in shoe polish that Smith bought for 15 cents at the Cubie Hill’s Home & Auto Supply and was assembled on gum boards he acquired at the Cleat Mill.
