Description

Portrait of Philip E. McAfee as a young man wearing an overcoat over what appears to be a uniform.

Philip was the son of Roy Wayland, Sr. (1891-1966) and Julia Margaret (Spinner) (1890-1963) McAfee, from Woodstock. He had ten siblings. He grew up on Water Street and his father worked at MMA. By 1940, the family owned the home they lived in.

Philip E. was 18 years old when he registered for the WWII draft. He worked for Rust Engineers in Front Royal and was described as being 6’ tall and 165 pounds.

He served in the Army as a Private.

In 1950, Philip lived on Connecticut Avenue in Washington D.C., when he married Shirley Mae Burrill in September, a young woman from Luray.

The couple had two sons together, Philip Edward McAfee, Jr., and Kenneth Roosevelt McAfee.

At some point, Philip and his family moved back to Woodstock and lived at 135 N. Water Street where Philip worked in a restaurant until he died.
