He grew up on a farm where he gained much practical experience fitom his father, J. M. Shealy, an outstand ing farmer ot Newberry county. As a young man he definitely their kwanted to make farming his ca reer. However, it took capital and money was hard to get in the ear ly thirties. Roy’s desire fdr a farm of his own seemed only a dream. He took'a job as salesman for a local drink firm as means of earning a livelihood. Then in 1934 Roy married Miss Carrie Lou Kinard, of a neighboring farm community. The young couple made thefr home with Mrs. Shea ly’s mother and, in addition to his job as salesman, Roy took ov er the operation of a part o< the Kinard farm to supplement his income. Gradually he purchased machinery and Enlarged his fann ing operations. He v^as the' first man in his community to start planting and cultivating cotton and com with tractor-drawn equipment The Shealys did npt lose sight ot their desire ft>r a farm and home of their own. Every extra penny was put aside for this goal. In 1948, a 96-acre tract of land nearby became available. The farm was run down, cut through with gullies, and there were no improvements or bnildings. Roy believed that the farm could be restored to productivity and the price was in line with what he could pay. The neighbors did not agree. They considered the land worn out and beyond recov ery for farming. But Roy bought the farm and set to work cleaning Newberry Federal Savings & Loan Ass’n. “An Institution Devoted to Thrift and Home Ownership” » John F. Clarkson, Pres. J. K. Willingham, Sec.-Treas.
