The Seal (Seals) family is all over Sneedville, Tennessee. Our family and the Seals are intertwined by marriage but I have not taken the time to sort them all out. However, in Jewelle's stash of photos, there are two of Lee Seal.
I don't know where he comes in. He could be related to my grandfather's sister who married into the Seals family. It doesn't matter, he belongs to someone so the pictures are here for them.
The pictures says, Lee Seal, Camp Mead. Today, it is Fort Meade and it's in Maryland but it was originally named Camp Mead after Major General George G Meade who won a decisive battle at Gettysburg.
In World War 1, it was a training camp for the soldiers. Both pictures appear to have been taken while he was in training.
Family History fanatics have photos and I have my share. They run from Sneedville, Tennessee to Wichita Falls, Texas. They include Rhea, McCollum, Yeakley, Jones, Findley, Shearer, Pitchford, and Farris. There are some unidentified folks and some that aren't family. All these photos need to be shared. Each one will be identified with the information I have. I hope they will be found by the people who know them.
