| Wriley aka Station No. 16 Was Central of Ga. Railroad station east of McIntyre "At one time Wriley was the nearest point to Irwinton and probably the biggest shipping point in the county being patronized by the town of Irwinton. Old-timers say that Leroy Fleetwood owned all the land for a great distance all around Wriley, and refused to sell any to the railroad for a warehouse. The CGR made him its agent there and he used his store as the depot. The narrative goes on the say that he insisted on selling whiskey at his place of business in spite of the protest of the railroad company, thinking that he was so strongly entrenched by owning all the land that the railroad company was obliged to use his store as a depot. Whereupon the company put into effect some sweeping changes. First a tract of two hundred and one-fourth acres of land was puchased from M.N. Murphy in 1856 and the house now occupied by Henry Price, Jr. (1930), was built. A depot was erected. It was also desired to move the station from Emmitt to the present Toomsboro. A trade was made with Mrs. McIntyre for her lands at Emmitt, giving her the dwelling at McIntyre, making her the new agent for the new depot, and naming the station McIntyre. The agency at Wriley was abandoned, and the station at Emmitt moved to Toomsboro." Victor Davidson, History of Wilkinson County |
