Annie Mae Franklin was the 3rd child of Charles and Mattie. Aunt Ann was married to Albert Dorman (who worked as policeman for the town of Cowpens) and they had three daughters - Dianne, Gloria and Barabara. Dianne is pictured above with her mom and dad and husband Ray Pettit in a photo from 1964. I remember as a small boy spending many days at their home. Uncle Albert used to set me on top of the washer to take a "ride" as it moved across the floor during the spin cycle. One of my favorite memories of Aunt Ann was her strong soprano voice in the choir at Gospel Baptist Church. Sadly, the first funeral I remember attending was for Annie Mae who died at the young age of 54 in 1966.
