He descends from Wiley Lewallen. Noting it was taken in Mooresville, the Moores and the Lewallens in that area were connected through marriage.
I love the old cabinet photos and appreciate seeing them. I'm always fascinated by the clothes they wear. Someone on here asked why the woman always stood and the man is sitting. Never did find the answer to that one.
Went to an antique mall Tuesday and happened to see a chair almost identical to this one. We see them frequently in old photos. I asked how much it cost and it was $149. A piece of useless information, right? But I was curious.
