Mildred, Edna, and Margaret Shell were the daughters of Mack and Perry Shell.There was a brother by the name of Lloyd, who was sent to another school (the girls went to the Methodist Children's Home in Winston-Salem).Their mother left the father for another man.The father was looking for work in Tryon and left the children at a boarding house.They became wards of the court and were placed in the Children's Home.This information was obtained from Mildred Shell's records at the school.They had an uncle (their father's brother) who did not want to, or coudn't take care of them.Thankfully, the girls were well-taken care of at the school and received good educations.They all went on to lead productive lives, raised good children, and were loved by many.
