25 Learn more about brothers Junius, Richard, and Thomas. What did they have in common?

For many years, three of Marcellus’ sons worked in the business, MC Waller & Sons Jewelers, repairing clocks, watches, and jewelry. These 3 brothers are the only siblings who had children.

Marcellus Carrington Waller, Jr., the second son of Marcellus and Nannie Waller, preferred to be called “Junius” and changed his name accordingly. Junius worked in the family watch and jewelry repair business, and for several years, he operated a second jewelry store on 1st Street, and later Clay Street. He served in the military and married Geneva Spruill. Junius and Geneva were blessed with one daughter, Elsie Aretha.

Richard Alexander, the fifth son of Marcellus and Nannie, married Florence Dungee. This union was abundantly blessed with six beautiful and loving children. Richard Alexander, Jr., the first born and only son was followed by the birth of daughters Jewel Elizabeth, Joyce Dungee, and Lillian Fannie Regina, before they were blessed with twin daughters, Betty Louise and Barbara Florence.

Thomas, the last child born to Marcellus and Nannie, married Marie Carter. They were proud parents of one daughter, Jean Marie, who was born just one week after Richard, Jr.’s birth. It was amazing that the brothers, who were very close, had their first offspring exactly one week apart.
