Joy, Those photos and the diary of Hattie Hill are really a treasure. I only skimmed the journal so far but I plan to go back and really read it. Maybe you have already answered this, because I was busy with some other genealogy and I missed it, are these your ancestors? The pictures are just great and so clear. Are all these taken at or near Chimney Rock, NC? That is a couple hours from where I live. My son and his family have been there and taken some beautiful pictures. We all plan to go when my daughter arrives here from Seattle in a few weeks. Thanks for sharing them. Judy Lincoln county, NC
