Siblings Lew Arden and Joanne Zirkle
Subject
Zirkle, Lew Arden (1941-1998)
Perkins, Josephine Ann "Joanne" Zirkle (ca 1943 - )
Description
Two children posed together. The boy in this photograph was identified as Lew Arden Zirkle in another photograph. From this, we have determined that he had a younger sister, Joanne, who we believe is the younger child in this image.
Both children were born to Owen Nathaniel and Audrey Adeline (Miller) Zirkle.
Joann Zirkle appeared in the 1957 yearbook for New Market High School, the 1960 yearbook for Stonewall Jackson High School, and the 1965 yearbook for James Madison University where she was working on a Bachelor of Science.
She married Walter Fillmore Perkins (1942-2004), a forester, who was the son of Rev. Joseph Lorenzo Dow Perkins and Frances Rebecca (Robinson) Perkins. He was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. They had three children together: Audrey Rebecca Ann, Walter Nathanial Dow, and Laura Elizabeth Lee Perkins. The family lived for many years in Albemarle County, Virginia.
Her brother, Lew Arden Zirkle, appeared in the yearbook for New Market High School in 1955. He later married Susan Virginia Fansler in 1967. At that time, he was a mechanic for French’s Frame and Wheel Shop. His bride worked in a law office as a secretary. She was born in New Market to Burtelle Whitmore Fansler, Jr. and Virginia Louise (Funkhouser) Fansler.
