Dee Cunningham  Sometimes he would take us further up the road, past the area where the Tierce mill had been, to a red dirt road that led past a fire tower. Down this road lived the Cunningham family, cross dressers, confidants of famous gospel singers and politicians. We would pass the house and look hard for suspicious looking females. Trip and I don’t remember ever seeing anyone, but Daddy had actually met Dee. Dee Cunningham tended to wear women’s clothing. It was said that he began the habit to avoid revenuers during Prohibition. Daddy said Dee called at Pinehurst several times in a dress. He remembers him playing the piano in the parlor. Granddaddy must have wanted to expose us to as much as he could. http://tierce.us/1816_tierce.htm
