FROM BRUCE: I enclose a photo of my paternal grandparents, Laxton Mallie Plemmons (1884 - 1958), and Minnie Elizabeth (Donaldson) Plemmons (1885 - 1955). This photo was probably taken at Asheville, NC in the early 1950’s, I think on Barnard Street. A second picture shows "Pop" and Granny Plemmons, taken in June of 1944, with my Uncle Joe (1923-1995), in uniform, and Uncle Seth (1911-1996 - standing), Uncle Jimmy (1926-1985), seated, Aunt Christine (1925), and Aunt Kate (1922). My Dad, Dan L. and Uncle Ross (Bud) were both serving in the Navy during WWII, and Uncle Grady was elsewhere at the time. He was the oldest of the eight children.
