In this first picture, a classic dogtrot home and family. I believe this was taken somewhere near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, circa 1908. The little boy with blond hair, second left, will be in the next photo as an adult.
In this photo, the little boy from above is the grown man, standing on the back row, far left. Next to him is his wife, who is holding their first grandchild. The young lady, 3rd from left is their oldest daughter. She will be in the next photo.
This home was in Purvis, MS and was also in the dogtrot style. I visited there as a youth. It was later sold, moved, and reassembled with all the modern conveniences.The last I heard, a retired preacher and his wife live there.
And here is the young daughter from the photo above, in her later years. She and her husband had just bought this old mobile home to refurbish, planning to use it as a fish camp.
