| Garrett Family Photos |
| With much appreciation to my cousin, Mitch Holloway, grandson of my mom's baby sister, Bessie Garrett Murray, for sharing all of the photos on this page! These photos mean a great deal to me. He, also, sent treasured photos of my g-grandparents, the first time I'd ever seen a photograph of my g-grandmother: Josiah and Flora Carmichael Garrett |

| My mom, Aunt Ernestine, Aunt Bessie; both of these photos were taken in Aunt Ernestine's kitchen; I'm not sure of the dates. |
| This is something of a mystery photo...:I believe the boy on the left may be Virgil and the boy on the right, Benton; are the two girls Ernestine and Bessie? |
| I'm pretty sure that the two boys are Uncle Benton and Uncle E. J.; and my mom is the older girl in the middle. Using age as a guide, I'd have to guess that Aunt Bessie is on the left and Aunt Ernestine on the right...but I'm not certain of that! |
