PICTURES GALLERY FOR "MOUNTAIN MEMORIES"

Beginning today, I will be posting pictures at least weekly that go with the stories Mildred Miller Thomas told about in her writings "Mountain Memories". I thought this would make the stories seem more real to the reader. I certainly do not intend to try to add anything to what Mildred did for us by sharing these wonderful stories, but if you are like me, you probably like a few pictures to go along with a good story. The pictures I will be posting come from a collection of family photographs I have been working on collecting for many years. I hope you enjoy them.

I will begin by posting a couple pictures of Mark and Mattie Self and their family. Mildred referred to them as Uncle Mark and Aunt Matt on page 5 of her writings. The first is a picture of Mark and Mattie when they were older. The second picture is of Mark and Mattie with some of their children.
