High Point, North Carolina Church Group
High Point, North Carolina Church Group
This church group was either in High Point, NC or Kernersville, NC. I've submitted it under both places, because it's not certain which place. The only two people who have been identified are Ida Coltrane Walker who is second from left on the bottom row. She was the wife of Mebane Walker, who was the manager of a hosiery mill in High Point although he lived in Kernersville. (Don't know if they were married yet when this picture was taken.) Vaden Hedrick was Ida's best friend, and is on the top row, last person on the right. Would love to know who all the rest of the people in the picture are.

Kernersville, NC Church Group
Kernersville, NC Church Group
This was a church group in Kernersville, NC., taken around 1918. Only two people in the picture have been identified. Second from left on the bottom is Ida Coltrane Walker, who became the wife of Mebane Walker. (Don't know if they were already married or not at the time). Vaden Hedrick is the last person on the right at the top. Other than that, everyone is a mystery. Would love for someone to identify them.
Kernersville, NC Churcg Group
Kernersville, NC Churcg Group
This is supposed to be a church group in Kernersville, NC. The only person identified is 2nd from left on the bottom, who is Ida Coltrane Walker. She was the wife of Mebane Walker. (Not sure if this is before or after her marriage.) Would love to know if anyone has any idea who the other people in the picture might be.

Who are these people???
Unknown Deceased Male
Unknown Deceased Male
This is a picture of an unknown deceased young man, who appears to be around 30 years of age. The time frame appears to be around 1919 or 1920 possibly. The picture was taken by Eckenrod Studio in Mt. Airy, NC. A ribbon on one of the baskets of flowers by his coffin has the name "Woodman Circle" on it. I was wondering if he could have been a member of that organization, and if that could possibly be a clue to his identity. The picture is much more extensive, showing the whole coffin and the flowers around it, and appears to be inside of a house, because you can see curtains on the window nearby. (The whole picture wouldn't go into this website for some reason.) Does anyone have any idea who this young man was???

Unknown Ladies & Their Buick
Unknown Ladies & Their Buick
This was found among my grandmother's old pictures after she had died. I have no idea who the ladies are, though they could have been friends of hers from nursing school in Norfolk, Va. (The only other likely places would be Greensboro, NC or Richmond, Va.---but that doesn't look like Greensboro to me).
Great Grandmother Harger
Great Grandmother Harger
My great-grandmother, Lillie Lancaster Harger, who was the daughter of George Whitfield and Docia Wilson Lancaster, and who lived in the Ayersville/Sandy Ridge communities of Rockingham and Stokes Cos. NC. (Right on the county line for those counties) She was descended from the Lancasters of Floyd Co. Va. and the Wilsons, Martins, and Richardsons of Rockingham/Stokes Cos. NC. She was married to Walter Lee Harger, a Henry Co. Va. native. Lillie was the mother of Kate Harger Crews, and Nina Lee Harger Styers Adler. Three more children had died very young. Lillie died ca. 1905, and her final resting place is a mystery. It is believed that she was buried in Stokes Co. in an unmarked family "burying ground" belonging to some Hargers.
Mrs. Crews and her Tenants
Mrs. Crews and her Tenants
This is a picture of my grandmother, Kate Harger Crews, (the older lady on the top row) when she had a boarding house on Ashe St. (Lady with the plaid jacket on next to Kate appears to be my mother, Helen J. Crews). Most of the girls that roomed in her home were teachers, etc. I don't know the names of any of the young ladies in the picture. But in the 1930 census, it shows that the following people were rooming in her house: Helene Hudnell, 31 and a teacher; Ida Belle Moore, 26 and a high school teacher; Eleanor M. Hill, 25 and a librarian born in Tennessee; Mary S. Southerland, 27 and a teacher born in Virginia, Mary L. Johnson, 23 and a teacher at a junior high school born in Virginia; Catherine Jones, 24, another teacher born in Virginia; Virginia Hollingsworth, 24 and a teacher from Georgia; and Gladys Pinkston, 28, also a teacher born in Georgia. (I don't know if any of these are the ladies in the picture.)

Great Aunt Laura
Great Aunt Laura
Laura A. Crews(Oct.1872--Nov. 01, 1956) was born in Missouri to Joseph E. and Mary Ann McMillan Crews, who were natives of Stokes/Forsyth Cos. in North Carolina. Her family had gone to Missouri and stayed for a number of years, where she and some of her siblings were born. Her immediate family returned to NC after their home was supposedly destroyed by a tornado. Laura became a nurse, and worked at Salem Female Academy in Winston-Salem, NC, and also as a private nurse for the Willingham family. She never married. She is buried with many of her relatives at Red Bank Missionary Baptist Church in Forsyth Co. NC, not far from Germanton.
Mystery Home in Greensboro, NC
Mystery Home in Greensboro, NC
This beautiful home once stood on Asheboro St. (now Martin Luther King Blvd.) near the intersection of Murray St. It remained there until at least the late 1950's.

Does anyone know whose home this was originally??? Around the time the picture was taken, this would have been an upscale area of Greensboro.

Three Brothers
Three Brothers
This picture was found in with my grandmother's old pictures after she died. (She was Kate Harger Crews). It is obviously of 3 young brothers, and is believed to be the sons of one of her friends. This could have been in North Carolina in (Stokes/Rockingham/Surry/Guilford Cos.) or possibly in Virginia (Richmond or Norfolk). Does anyone recognize these 3 boys from days gone by?

Kate Harger,Thomas Ruffin Pratt,and Elsie Payne
This is a picture of my grandmother, Kate Harger --later Crews, and her two friends (and distant relatives) Thomas Ruffin Pratt Jr., and Elsie Payne--later Daniel. They hung around together mostly in Madison, NC. They were most likely in the creek near Elsie's home, which was the Dr. Artemus Payne home at Moore's Mill---now under Belew's Creek Lake. Ruffin Pratt later became a doctor, and moved to California, where he actually treated many actors and actresses in Hollywood for a time. He died and is buried in San Luis Obispo, Ca.

Elm and Market Sts.
This was the main business area of Greensboro, NC as it appeared around 1910. (Not sure whether this is looking north or south from Elm St.) It has changed a lot since then. (This was a postcard sent to my grandmother from my grandfather, who was a conductor for Southern Railway, and who lived in Greensboro at the time.)
University of Maryland in Baltimore
University of Maryland in Baltimore
This is how the University of Maryland in Baltimore looked in 1909. This was a postcard sent to my grandmother from her dear friend and relative, Thomas Ruffin Pratt Jr., who was attending medical school there at the time. (He was a native of Madison, (Rockingham Co.) NC. He had announced to her that he was living at 804 W. Fayette St. in Baltimore.

This picture was bought at the "Jockey Lot" in Anderson, SC, in the early 1980's. There is nothing on it to identify who the people might be, though it does appear to be somewhere in the South.

Drugstore in Madison, NC
Drugstore in Madison, NC
This is a picture postcard sent to my grandmother, Kate Harger--(later Crews) from her dear friend Elsie Payne--later Daniel) when they were both living in Madison. I'm sure they used to hang around this drugstore with their other friend, Thomas Ruffin Pratt Jr. My grandmother told me that she used to like to drink "Black Cows", which I can imagine could have come from this very drugstore.
