This background set was so appropriate for my Dad because, for one thing, the gent looks like him, and my Dad loved to fish...just like this, although he also did some fly-fishing and liked to run trout lines. He was the son of a farmer and he was a farmer also until I was 15. He did not go to war..he was deferred to stay behind and farm. My mother was Laura Lola Tilley, daughter of Charles William Tilley and Elizabeth Akins. They met at a church social which was held in a tent in those days...a "tent revival"...and they were in their mid to late 20's when they married. They were together over 40 years. Dad loved to play the "fiddle"...he never called it a violin. He played for Square Dances and continued to play all his life. He was self-taught and learned songs "by ear". |

Arf! Woof! Smokey here...the first Peke Dad! What complicated stuff! He was the son of Crosslands Smokey the Bandit and Crosslands Miss T. This is about as ancestral as he got! Below is his pic with his "grandaughter, Muffi.  Muffi & Smokey I am the papa of Shadow The Renegade, Smokey's Tuff Stuff (Tuffy) and Prissy; a result of my liaison with Ms. Amber. Mickey, the Lordly Peke, had four kids also: Shadowrose Muffi, (pictured with me) Little Joe Mistymop Marauder, Ranger Red Chief and Brandi Bear. He and Prissy became "close" to produce that wild bunch! I also have a daughter, Lucy Furr, who visits. All our Pekes got good homes. This is Sir Wally of a questionable background since he is a rescue off the streets. He is very aristocratic so there is surely cat royalty back there somewhere! Click on his pic to veiw his pages.  THE ELUSIVE ANCESTOR
I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him still.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame.
And no one else in this world is searching for this man.
He died before the county clerks decided to keep records. by Merrell Kenworthy
