I created this blog to share stories and information about my maternal ancestors from Wilkes County, North Carolina. My mother, grandmother, and other relatives shared many family stories with me. As I recall these stories, I will share my journey to find the truth, as well as genealogy tips I learn.

Grandma's Photo Album Page 81 - McNeil & Vannoy in Wilkes, plus unknown child
(Left) Aunt Ila with her first child, daughter Eula Mae.
Ila was my grandmother's sister. Her full name was Ila Margaret McNeil Vannoy (1898-1983). She married Isaac Ransom Vannoy (1894-1979). They operated a country store in Wilkes County.
Eula Mae became a cosmetologist. In February 1943, Eula Mae enlisted in the Womens' Army Corps as a private in the inactive reserve. Later in 1943, she married Atwell Sharpe (1922-1986). Atwell worked at Southern Bell for 41 years. He also was a veteran of World War II. They never had children.
(Right) Unknown child. If you have any ideas about who this is, please let me know!
