Some Families of Damascus, Virginia, Part XII

by Glenn  N.  Holliman

This is the twelth in a series of stories with photographs of my great uncle and aunt, Dave and Pearl Osborne Wright and their many years of life in Damascus, Virginia.  Pearl is the grand daughter of Isaac and Caroline Greer Wilson of Ashe County, North Carolina. As ever I am grateful to Phyllis Mink, daughter of Doris Osborne Akers,  Bob and Rob Adema, descendants of Gladys Osborne Adema and Geraldine Stansbery Holliman Feick, a niece of Pearl Osborne Wright and this writer's mother, for making many of the historical photographs available.

Part of this series can be found in Ancestry.com under the names of those in the articles.

We continue with a number of photographs of unidentified Damascus citizens and sites from the 1910s forward.  We invite anyone who might know these persons to correspond with us at glennhistory@gmail.com.

The fisherman on the rock above may be Dave Wright. This jolly chap with the derby may be Ward Wright, Dave Wright's brother.

Above, Pearl Osborne Wright may be the center figure; others unknown.  Below, men share a cigarette by the train tressel in Damascus.
