Well, it didn't forward so below is the original message I've "rescued" an old photograph of Lorena WESTBROOK of Waco, Texas which was likely taken in the 1860's or 1870's when she was about 6-7 years old. Along with the photograph I was recovered a wedding invitation issued by Mr. & Mrs. C. A. WESTBROOK inviting guests to attend the wedding of their daughter Lorena WESTBROOK to Sterling C. ROBERTSON on Monday morning, December 22nd 1879 at 8 o'clock in their home. Based on limited research I was able to gather a considerable amount of information regarding this family.
