Throwback
Thursday. Henry Paul Prance (1910-2000)
c1914. Anna's father. Paul lived all his life in the
Blackwell/Noonday area of north Cobb County.
He was the oldest of his siblings; three brothers and one sister.
As a young
man one of his first jobs was with Franklin D. Roosevelt's work program the
CCC.
After that
he worked at Veach Wholesale Grocery as the manager for the rest of his work
career. When he retired Veach Grocery
stopped being a business.
He also
loved farming. He had a cow, pigs, one
free range chicken, and a large garden
that produced edibles and beautiful flowers.
He grew up on a farm and I think wanted to continue that way of life.
Paul was
married twice, first to Alzia Evelyn Kemp, and secondly to Marie Foster.
He and Alzia
had three sons, which unfortunately, they died before he did. The lived to be middle age men, but Paul
outlived them. They are Jimmy, Tommy,
and Julian.
He and Marie
had one daughter, Anna.
