This will be a short blog. I am getting ready to go to my Granddaughters wedding. These are a couple of pictures of Benjamin Camillus Stroup Sr of Cherryville, North Carolina.
Ben was born on 17 October 1884 in Cherryville. He is the son of John Anthony Stroup, one of the most successful men in Cherryville at the time. His mother was Lou Etta Robbs. Ben married Emma Prue Beam on 27 October 1918. Just prior to his marriage he registered for the draft. When he registered he stated he was caring for his mother. At that time he was a mechanic for C.C. Osborne.
The top photo I think is of the five Stroup sons of John Anthony. Ben is the only one identified thus far.
The second photo is of Emma Prue Beam and her sister Susan Florence Beam. The young boy is Benjamin Camillus Stroup Jr.
I do not know where the name Camillus came from. Your guess is as good as mine.
