One of my favorite activities at the Historical Society is to randomly pull a picture and then see what other information I can find throughout the building. This time, the picture was the Lloyd family home. We have a lot of pictures and correspondence and other things from the Lloyd family. Check it out.

Real Love! I was planning on pulling a photograph and showing you all how to use the information from the photo inventory log and hopefully cross-referencing that with our family files and discovering what's on the photograph. In this case that didn't work, but it led me to Mr. Ellington's file and this wonderful book of poems including one to his wife. They were married more than 60 years!
