LaVera writes: "2 very different views of the Baptist Church building in Proctor, TX. The older one (above) is more sepia tone on a tan background (could have been white at one time), then glued onto one of the old-time cardboard frames. I have looked hard, but can find no photographer's name on the frame. No date, but my aunt wrote on the back "Baptist Church, Proctor, Texas". The building has been added onto over the years, so that is the 2nd picture (below) that my sister took on 1 September 2005. You can barely see the spire for the clouds (just above the cross on the left)." |

This is a picture of James Henry and Emma in front of their home. When James Henry got too elderly to do much outside, he would still wear a clean white shirt every day and sit in his rocker. |
