I'M SO EXCITED I COULD CRY!!!!! I have wanted
to do this for so long and kept putting it off....Last weekend on
Shutterfly they had a special and I chose the free 16x20...I had been
wanting a big picture of my 3 great grandmother to hang over
my fireplace....We only have a small photo taken from a tintype and
don't always know how it will come out when enlarged... I had no
expectations so I wouldn't be disappointed....Well, here she is in a
16x20 size.....Mary Polly Sitz Lankford..I've also heard her called
Nellie....Her Native American name was Mele or Me-Le..From Monteagle
Mountain (Grundy County Tennessee)....I have always been soooo intrigued
by her and thought she had the sweetest face....It touches my heart to
finally have a large picture of her and that she is not forgotten by so
many of her Lankford descendants.....
Until next time~~hugs, Jen

She is beautiful; her face is full of character. Look at those cheek bones! What a wonderful treasure.
I love that picture!!! She does look sweet and how wonderful to have that piece of history! I would like to know what music I was listening to when I brought you blog up. I love fiddle music. It was the song just before What a Friend We Have in Jesus. Have a good day! Nancy
What a special picture of your great grandmother. I know you will treasure it along with your family.
