Recently, while browsing a photo collection from the Library of Congress, I came across the following photo two photos of Raeford Bryant Whitley, a businessman of Wendell; and one of the founders of the town.
What was funny about this was that this same day I’d been looking at the yearbook photo of his son Phillip Ray Whitley. Phillip graduated from the University of North Carolina @ Chapel Hill in 1929.
I’ve added some brief information on the Whitley Family Tree to my database of NC Families.
