Cousin Andy Cracknell sent along some more photos from the Smith side of the family.

George Smith
|
Another great photo of my great grandfather George Smith was a pleasant surprise. A much younger photo which gives a real feel for him. Not smiling perhaps, but I see humor in the eyes. |
| Estill at work |
Estill at work at GM Parks Steam and Gas fittings in Fitchburg. It later became Parks-Cramer. |
| Estill |
We think this is Estill as a young man. Just FYI the name Estill goes way back in Letitia's Indiana family. It was originally a surname.
And now the biggest surprise for me. An actual picture of Letitia herself.

| Letitia |
Not sure what's wrong with her eye in this picture. Maybe just some clumsy photo editing by an earlier source. |
| Letitia and Marion |
And here she is again with her granddaughter Marion. The biggest surprise for me was NOT the photo of her. Look again. |
| the Morris chair |
I was aware that this Morris chair that was passed along to me was a family piece. I just didn't know its origin. It's been recovered and refinished a few times, but it is a sturdy survivor. |
| Cora and Harry |
Andy knew this was Cora Elizabeth, but not who the child was. I feel reasonably certain this is Harry, my grandfather. Check out the lounge and the wallpaper.So nice to have these additional family photos.
