This person is connected to the gg granddaughter of Annie Laura Garner that I have been in contact with before from this list. I have old photos that belonged to my grandmother Annie Mae Green (born 1905) dau of Joseph and Hattie Green(e), Union County SC. Mertia Garner was a friend of my grandmothers apparently, although younger. Mertia had a little brother. I am trying to find this Garner family, maybe will find some clues for my grandmother. Please keep me posted.
