    1. Old Photos
    2. Everytime I go thru my old photos, I keep coming across a few that my mother had dating back to 1914-1915. The pictures are well worn and not in the best condition, but fortunately my mother wrote names and dates on the back of each one. Sometimes she wrote on the front of the picture. I sure would like for the descendants of her friends to have these pictures. (1) Does the name "Mollie Brown" ring a bell with anyone? (This isn't the "invincible Mollie Brown"!) She probably lived in Lee County, VA, Claiborne County, TN, or Bell County, KY. Mollie is holding a baby in her lap. (2) Lillie (Lily) Coots. She is wearing what appears to be a white dress and is holding a baby. (3) "Rita Suttles and Sherman Dean." This photo must have been taken around a holiday celebration. The year was 1914-15. They are wearing winter clothing and standing with my mother. Sherman is wearing a hat and has a small flag in his lapel. The couple may have married because, I believe my mother said Rita and Sherman were courting. Facts: Rita Suttles was my mother's closest friend and she was the daughter of the local doctor in the Lee County, VA, and Claiborne County, TN, areas. She had a sibling named Hagen, and according to Mama, the good doctor was so busy he just didn't have time to concentrate on names for the other siblings when they were born so he called them Butch, Buck, and Babe (these may have been nicknames and whether or not true, it makes an interesting story!!) Although rather worn, it would be a nice picture for a descendant to have in his family files. If these names mean anything to you, I'll be glad to scan and forward the pictures. Pat
