Speaking with relatives about family history, I am often told to keep this piece of information between you, me and the gate post. Respecting sensibilities, I will share my family stories entwine with historical events from Copiah, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties, Mississippi, from gate post to gate post.

I'm intrigued by the photo. Alice looks like a very interesting woman. I'm hoping that you'll tell us more about her in a future post.
ReplyDeleteI know so little about her. She is someone I need to research.
DeleteEven though you may not know much about her, what a treasure to have a picture!
ReplyDeleteThe picture was in one of those old ornate frames. My first memory of the picture is seeing it on the wall of my grandmother's home.
DeleteShe has a very firm look. Was she your mother's grandmother? They both have that firm look.
ReplyDeleteNo, Alice was my father's paternal grandmother. Mama seldom smiled in pictures.
