Below is an obituary that was printed in the "High Point Enterprise" on April
15, 2005. Can anyone shed any light on who John Wesley Cecil, (the father of Fay),
parents might have been. I have four John Wesley Cecil's in my family tree, but none
are married to an Ethel Sink, and do not appear to be the right age group. I also have
quite a few Sink family members, but no Ethel. Any information on either of these would
be very much appreciated. Thank you.
