Ida Ellington Peoples and Neely Peoples
The late Ida Ellington married Neely Peoples and they moved from South Macon County to the Zion Hill community (South Wright Street which was changed to Highland St.) Tuskegee, in the early 1920s. Their children were reared in the house located on 430 Wright St. Their descendants still own the property/land where the house and farm was located.
Although they lived in the city, they did not give up their farm. Neely, Ida and some of the older children would commute to the farm in South Macon County to cultivate their crops.
Their children attended elementary and high school in Tuskegee.
Their children were: Marion, Petronella, Dorothy, Johnnie, Nellie, Otherie, Uranius, Theodosia, Robert, Neely, Jr.
