Worrall Boys
Clayton and Jay Worrall, sons of local builder, Winfield Worrall, in front of their family home at 109 E Sixth Street in Media, sometime around 1910. The photo was given to us by Jay's son, Jay Jr., who visited us in 2008 at the age of 88. Jay Jr. was born in the house, and spent many summers there with his Aunt Charlotte (Lottie), who inherited the house from her father and lived there through the 1960s.
