After he left the Pierce Level community in Wilmer, Alabama, Cecil Alvy Pierce (1907-1975) never returned to live in Alabama.
He moved to Akron, Ohio, and worked for the Goodrich Rubber Company, where he met Anna Edwards (1909-2008). They were married on November 28, 1929. Cecil later got a job with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company in Akron. Cecil and Anna made a number of trips to Mobile to visit Cecil's parents and other relatives. They always travelled by train, arriving at the L&N station at the foot of Government Street.
This above portrait of the couple was probably made in the 1950s.
