Regarding Barwick-Dudley House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination under the house's original name:
…Dr. George W. Davis, a graduate of Southern Medical College and one of three dentists in the Summit-Graymont area, bought the house from his brother-in-law Robert Barwick in 1902. George and his wife Emma Davis were living in the house with their two children at the time of the 1900 U.S. Census and it appears that the house was built for them rather than the Barwicks, who were living in Thomas County. The house remained in the Davis family after Emma’s death in 1912 and George’s death in 1923, and in 1928, the house was sold to Claude Mallory Proctor and his wife Pearl. Claude Proctor had a long career in the postal service, starting out as a rural carrier in 1905, becoming clerk for the Summit post office in 1919, and postmaster from 1922 to 1952. Although incorporated as Twin City in 1921, Summit and Graymont maintained separate post offices until 1952 when Claude Proctor became postmaster of Twin City and the Graymont postmistress Mrs. Lessie Gray became assistant postmaster.
