Item #1101 Ersa Farmer:
Age 16, taken about 1921. She married Harry Primrose and is buried at Beechwood Cemetery.
This picture shows the type of fence used back then. My family stored empty fruit jars on the pickets of such fence. It kept them from holding water and getting dirty.

Item #1106 Anna Eoff Wishon and Robert Lee Lovell:
She had cooked his birthday dinner and the family wanted a picture. Robert Lee Lovell was born June 6, 1836 in Halifax, VA and died August 13, 1929 at Low Gap, Arkansas. He is not in the cemetery records so if he is buried there he has no stone. He married Permilia Ann Thermon in Johnson County, AR on January 6, 1859. She was born in Kentucky on August 7, 1841 and died February 10, 1910. I do not know where she died or where she is buried. Robert Lee Lovell was the father of James Monroe Lovell (James Monroe was the husband of Lawrence Yates Lovell, Low Gap Cemetery). James Monroe Lovell's first wife was Sada Belle Mitchell. Sada Belle's name is not in the Low Gap Cemetery list so I don't know where she is buried.
