Top picture: ^ The home of my great-grandparents, Beverly Johnson Quillin and Polly Ann "Sprowls" Quillin. Eventually their daughter, Opal owned the home. 

Bottom picture: ^ A few doors down across the street was the home of Opal's sister, Cathleen "Corintha" Melvina Quillin Bagby.



Top picture ^ the home where Daddy and his siblings were born.

Daddy is now taking me to Crowell, Texas, to see my Jones & McNair Family homesteads.
