FUQUAY-VARINA — Two sisters, Mrs. Ophelia Garrett and Mrs. Jessie Mae Parker, who are originally from Ral eigh but now living in Fuquay- Varina and Raleigh, respect ively, encountered each other for the first time in 27 years, not knowing that they had lived so close together all these years. Their mother, Mrs. L/eslie Anderson, who resides in Brooklyn, N. Y., visited Mrs, Garrett during last summer, and, because of family separa tions years ago, she did not know that Jessie was also in the area. A beauty parlor appointment by Mrs. Garrett months ago brought her face-to-face with a new beautician, Mrs. Jessie Parker, who was then washing her (Mrs. Garrett’s) hair. She did not recognize her sister immediately. During the con versation with Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Garrett asked, “What is your name?” She responded, “Jessie Mae.” She was then asked her last name and Mrs. Parker proceeded to tell her. The two ladies, through some minor root tracings, discovered then that they were sisters. “I just jumpedout of the chair and told her she was my sister,” said Mrs. Garrett. “Jessie just stood there while I was squeezing her. Jessie was l■Wi: in shock.” Ophelia called her husband, Jimmy Lee, and asked him to assemble the family. He was then told that a surprise was waiting. On the way home, her sister was told that she would be introduced as a friend, but Mrs. Garrett’s son, Tony, 15, ran out of the house and said, “Mamma, that’s your sister.” He said that both women looked so much alike to him. The sisters called their mother and both left for a New York reunion the following night.
