Journal and Guide (Norfolk, Va.), 10 June 1933.

From the Journal and Guide‘s Wilson social column, we learn J.D. Reid‘s family remained in Wilson when he left to work in D.C., and there was a tennis court somewhere in East Wilson on which this improbable set whacked balls.

The nine players included six from Wilson (one of whom, my grandfather Roderick Taylor Sr., was the old man of the group at 50 years of age.) Dr. James A. Battle of Greenville was a Wilson native. The “Sam Vick” is Samuel H. Vick Jr. Edward M. Barnes was a teacher at the Colored High School; Malcolm D. Williams, at the Colored Graded School.
