It sounds like they were all hard workers, and to be able to purchase a home free and clear of a mortgage shows how honorable he was. The fact that he stood up in court for Sallie makes him more wonderful. I bet that wasn't easy.<br /><br />It is interesting that some of them would end up in Harlem. I am sure they felt the pressure to get out of the south and live up north to experience more freedom. <br /><br />I hope a relative of his finds you.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145530293593063964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-82615933157954256692014-04-12T07:25:12.821-04:002014-04-12T07:25:12.821-04:00The thought came to me some time ago that I have a...The thought came to me some time ago that I have all these old photos of my relatives' friends and neighbors but I've done nothing with them.

Quite surprising to find a neighborhood of that time with any black families, much less three.
