Frank Ellis #2


At left is Frank's right hand man Amos Grady Hardin who my father said had once been the Mayor of Savannah, Tenn.
I punched it up on Google and sure enough Savannah, Tenn. in Hardin County population 6,917 in the year 2000.

KItzman had a story that one year the show Grady was with at the time played Savannah and all over town were 'Welcome Home Grady Hardin" signs. May have happened on the Russell show.

Grady ran Frank's snake show when I knew him. Tom King had the midget horse or maybe it was the "gorilla" (chimp).

Oh, I just remembered there's more to the story. Grady had a bunch of the show people over to his house for a party and among them were some midgets or little people. To his wife's dismay Grady sawed the dining room table legs down a bit to accommodate these folks.
