The Birthday Party
October 5, 1953
208 Katherine Street, Suffolk, Virginia
This was the birthday of Dolly Watson Carr, daughter of Dolly Bell Watson and Charles Brosia Carr, Jr. My Train Table in the Background, a portrait by Fred Hamlin of my Sister, Dolly Bell Watson in the background. My Mother Alice Whitley Watson had made the Cake. I am the second from the left, below me is Doug Johnson? Dolly's cousin. Larry Martin who lived just behind us on Highland Avenue is in the pointed Hat. "Miss Dolly" is blowing out the candles. The Hurley sisters are behind "Miss Dolly." There were three Dollys in the immediate family: Dolly Ann Bell Whitley who was my grandmother, my sister Dolly named for her, and of course Dolly my niece named for her mother. So, we came up with "Miss" Dolly for her! I just noticed the Jamestown Exposition Commemorative Plate of 1907 on the wall in the background. I have spoken of this in a previous post.
