Who's that strapping young fellow pictured to the left? Why that's Forsyth County's first duly elected sheriff, one Will Flynt who served as sheriff from 1850-1854. Is it just me or does he look like he's 12 in that picture? More photos like that can be found at Digital Forsyth. (Picture courtesy of the Forsyth County Public Library Photograph Collection)
