My
grandfather Willis Hite Farley had two younger
brothers who both played for the Alderson High
School football team. This photo is from about
1925. My great uncle Paul (Frederick Paul
Farley, 1910-1968) is second from the left on
the second row; Paul and Willis married sisters,
Audrey Hale and Frances “Rook” Hale (resulting
in double cousins, double aunts and uncles for
my dad and his siblings and their cousins). My
great uncle Tom (Thomas Duvall Farley,
1912-1936) is next to last on the first row; he
died of pneumonia at the young age of 23; this
is one of the few photos of him that survive.
