Families of the Lincoln Park Neighborhood
Ties That Bindby Sharyn R. Duffin
Lincoln Park is not a traditional kinship settlement, but, over the years, marriages between families have made it one. These eight couples, representing seven families, are a perfect example of how the roots of the community have become inextricably bound.
Frank Davis was married to Annie Jackson. Annie's sister Ethel married Kenneth Shelton, and Kenneth's sister Annie married Harold Lee Waters. Harold's brother Anderson married Vicella Howard. Vicella's brother Colston Howard married Estelle Prather. Estelle's brother Henry Prather married Rhoda Duffin. Rhoda's brother Roland married Helen Howard. Helen Howard's sister Lucille Howard married James Davis and Jim Davis is Frank Davis's brother.
