Judy . . . I hope this helps; and, Victor, I have very much enjoyed reviewing the information you have posted as well. I noticed you live in Ernul, NC. My grandparents, Frank and Sarah Dail, lived in Ernul on "the old brick road". I have many wonderful memories of Ernul. I actually went to first grade at the school in Ernul.
Take care.
