William Perry Lord (1877 – 1955) and Lillie
Bell Tarpley (1875 – 1945)
and their three oldest children, Albert
Eugene (1899 – 1956), Willie Lou (1901 – 1969)
and infant Mintora (1904 – 1937).
I assume the photo was taken in late 1904 or early 1905.
The couple had one other child, my
mother, Anna Bell Lord Toler, who was born in 1912.
William Perry Lord was the son of James
Etheldred Lord and Vianna Thompson Lord.
Lillie Bell Tarpley was the daughter of
Thomas Manson Tarpley and Leanda Vanlandingham
Tarpley. Albert Eugene Lord relocated
to Atlanta and married Nell Parker, a widow.
Willie Lou Lord married Bernice Ivy Fordham.
Mintora married Robert Lee Walters.

Brunswick,

County.
