I am posting some photos of people that were in my great grandmother Ora C. Murrell Miller's photo album. Some of these photos did not have names associated with them . The time period is mid to late 1800's in Coryell County, Texas.

 

This is A.J. Holmes who was married to Josie E. Murrell who was my great grandmother Ora's sister. Unfortunately Josie (Feb. 14, 1861-Feb. 13, 1889) and her son Norris (Oct. 21, 1886-Nov. 28, 1889) did not live for very long. Josie and Norris are buried at the Ater Cemetery in Coryell County, Texas.

The name on this photograph was L.B. Timmons.

 

The name on this photograph was Leaf  Timmons. Tintype.

These are photos from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. It was such a nice day outside I decided to go check out the place. It was crowded with people, especially school kids. Very pleasant place and I will remember to visit it again.
