Friday's Face(s) from the Past - A Tapley Family Reunion

 

from left to right:

Charles Morgan Tapley (1907-1973), 

Ethel Irene Ranney Tapley (1913-1973)

James Tillman "Fella" Tapley (1904-1974)

Charles and Fella were brothers; the oldest children of 

Lusion Keman Tapley (1870-1935) and

Mattie Schwalls (1877-1912)

Charles and Ethel were my maternal grandparents.

I was very young when Uncle James passed but I do recall visiting him in Macon. He was the oldest son. He was the one everyone counted on. He was there when any of his siblings needed anything from food to a place to stay.

This picture was taken at a family reunion circa 1962 in Macon, Georgia.
