  • Robert Francis “Bobby” Mehaffey (1949-2014), son of Martha Ann Grahl Mehaffey (1931-1982) and Billy "Bill" Carroll Mehaffey (1927-2000), in the yard of his grandparents on East Street in Waynesville. The photograph is from film that was brought to Sherrill’s Studio for developing, but the prints were never picked up. The name written on the unclaimed envelope is Mrs. Bill Mehaffey. Sherrill’s studio was founded by George Dexter Sherrill (1879–1931) in 1902 and was the first photography studio in Haywood County.
