This photo is part of my husbands
ancestry. They are my husbands "Granny's" great grandparents and
as you can see this photo was painted and is quite an antique!
when ever I see this photo and others
like it when we visit Granny, I wonder
what they're lives were like? what they went through? and what they would be like had we gotten to know them. Family history has always been interesting to me, and to my son perhaps that is why he is going to major in the study of anthropology.
I know a little bit about our granny's
family history. so I thought i would share. Granny's family hails from Colgate Oklahoma, as did Daddo's ( my husbands grandfather) and Daddo's family ran the cemetery and there is a whole lot of family buried there because of the small pox epidemic. Granny's family ran a ranch. as a young girl granny would go squirrel hunting and fishing for dinner with her father. when she grew up and later married Daddo they would all go hunting and fishing. Granny tells us many interesting facts of her life growing up. ( in a future blog I hope to share!)
so my new project for myself is to put copies of these wonderful photos we have in a scrap book
I will let you know how it turns out.
