Last year an article on Maureen Taylor http://www.photodetective.com was run in the Wall Street Journal. Its really worth your time to check it out.

DeadFred.com gets a mention too! But the bulk of the article is about Maureen as it should be. I say this because she is my, and many others, go-to-person when it comes to questions about photographs. Whether its history, dating, structure, fashion,  she knows her stuff. If you have a question about your photograph the first door to knock on is Maureen’s.

Joseph Hatfield Bryant was also my maternal great great grandfather. Nancy Emaline Bryant is my great grandmother. Her daughter Cecil Josephine was named for him and I for her. I would love any information on Joseph, especially about his ministry in The Christian Church and why he is referred to as “Old Reb” on some sites.
