Anne Stovall Pace Anthony And Alvin Mathis Griffin Anthony family

Location: Jackson Co. GA in 1907/8, in front of the house in which Alma Anthony Ekstrand (my grandmother) was born: "What a shack!" as she later jokingly inscribed on the back. The photo shows Ann Stovall Pace Anthony, her husband, her mother-in-law, and all of her living children at that time.

Back Row L-R: Theo Brown Anthony; Edward Luther "Jack" Anthony; Clarence Thurston Anthony; Nancy Harrison Barnett Anthony (Ann's mother-in-law, a Confederate widow who lived with the family); Ann "Annie" Stovall Pace Anthony & her husband Alvin Mathis Griffen Anthony; Joseph Watson Anthony; William Thaddeus "Thad" Anthony

In the wagon in front: Rufus Nelson Anthony; baby Alma Anthony Ekstrand (my grandmother)

The dogs are unidentified, as is the late possum being proudly displayed by Alvin. <g>

I zoomed in on this photo so that the people would be more visible, but had to cut out most of the house to do so. Here is the full picture.

Small group photo below: Location: Possibly Jackson County, GA in 1912 Showing Ann Stovall Pace Anthony, her mother-in-law, and Ann's 3 youngest children at the time.

L-R: Mother-in-law Nancy Harrison Barnett Anthony holding baby Thelma Virginia Anthony; Alma Anthony Ekstrand (little girl in center); Ann Stovall Pace Anthony; Frank D. Anthony

I did not colorize this photo; it has looked this way as far back as I can remember.
