More mystery photos added

This is an example of some of the new pictures I have added to the Photo Album of unknown pictures.

These pictures were important to some family many years ago and I would like to give pictures back to them.  Some of the pictures are 80-100 years old.  Please contact me with any questions or comments at ash689@aol.com

Photos

http://galliacountyphotoalbum.blogspot.com/

Please take a look at the photos posted on this website.  Most are from Gallia county, Ohio where my Logues lived.  It would be wonderful if some one could recognize any one at all here.  If so, please, please contact me.  Thanks, Karen

My Journey back in time

I will be leaving in two weeks to begin my journey.   The early Logues, Samuel Abner and his wife Hannah Gross, came from Virginia and by the early 1800's were settled in Gallia county.  And a few years earlier the Rife Family came to Gallia from Virginia.  I am going to walk the lands where these family members lived, look at the creeks where they fished, find the churches where they worshipped.  Even though the forests are gone in many places and the wildlife is more scarce. I know that the rolling hills of Gallia County will speak to me.

Fascinating video

How marble tombstones are made

A most interesting video showing how marble tombstones are made.  I will never forget this when I see marble head stones.
