This was taken in the back yard of 329 Cedar Street, Suffolk, Virginia about 1957. From left to right, Shelley Burch Watson, Jr.; Claude Clifford Lilly, III, John Henry Marshall, Sammy Powell, and George Hunter Marshall. 

We are seated on a fish pool which in my memory was about 100 feet by 100 feet. Seems a little smaller now. 

John and George Marshall lived just down the street and Sammy Powell lived behind 329 Cedar on South Main Street. 

My cousin Cliff Lilly was visiting with his parents, our Grandparents George and Dolly Whitley at their home at 329. At the time, I was living at 208 Katherine Street. We soon moved to 339 Cedar Street.

When my grandfather died in 1961, I went to live with my grandmother at 329.
