My Family History

Lots to be done yet, but here's a start:

Great-Grandma Johnson and kids, including my Grandma.
Taken around 1905

On the left, Laura Etta Johnson (my Grandma) b. Dec. 31 1898

The little boy is Robert ("Bob") Johnson

The woman in the middle is their mother, Dolly (Barnett) Johnson (my Great Grandma). She died Nov. 17, 1958, at the age of 86 (so born around 1872).

On the right are Carrie and Daisy (or Daisy and Carrie).

There were two other boys, Stewart and Orville, who are older than these children, and are not in the photo. It's too early for them to be off to the World War I (1915-1917). They were probably back home, working the farm.

Right-click on each link below, and choose "Save Target As..." to save the photo to your own hard drive.

The Mountains Of Tennessee
(A Carter Family song)

Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
Take me back where my heart longs to be
Where we played by the brook in the cool shady nook
In the mountains of Tennessee

In my old mountain home where the wild roses bloom
Is a spot just like heaven to me
Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
In the mountains of Tennessee

Take me back take me back to my old mountain home
Take me back to my old mothers knee
Where the stars shine bright and the birds are free
In the mountains of Tennessee

Round my old mountain home where I used to roam
Their waiting a welcome for me
Take me back to my old log cabin home
In the mountains of Tennessee
