This is a picture taken on Christmas Day 1963.

The lady is Texie Alice Pennington Turner; she was the daughter of Henry “Hen” and Virginia “Jen” Pennington, who lived in Baltimore.  She graduated from Harman High School; her brother, Layton, traveled by bus to attend Davis High School for his fourth year of high school.  She was married to Conley Turner, son of James and Rebecca Summerfield Turner. Texie passed away 16 days before her 53rd birthday.

Texie and Conley had the following children: Twila, Nina, Howard, Tommy, Norman and she lost some children to premature death. Twila was my grandmother and I have a faint memory of sitting on her lap. Ideas or comments contact Tim Turner (304) 478-3389.
