If you come across any with Harriss, Gilliam, Jones, Davis, Sanford families I might be interested in them. I have often wondered what happens to old pics when a lone person passes away. Or a family's things are left in storage and not called for. Sad. Maybe a genealogy club/organization might be interested. One of the lists or sites for the county. -----Original Message----- >From: Akakuek@aol.com >Sent: Jan 7, 2007 11:58 PM >To: Akakuek@aol.com >Subject: [ILPERRY] Old Photos: Chamber - Hobbs & Harmon > >It greatly saddens me to see so many "old" photos being sold at >flea-markets, antique stores and on auctions... its almost saying the life of these >people didn't matter.
