Sunday afternoon in Forest Home

Aunt Maggie used to tell me about this picture, and I wish I could remember all that she said.




I do know that this is (supposedly) Daddy Rich and Mama Sheba's first meeting. The Langford boys traveled out to Forest Home, a few miles to the west of Greenville. Arthur C. and Annie McNeil Sims are sitting top center. This is probably their house after church.


Daddy Rich is sitting on the right of the third row, and Mama Sheba is second from the right on the second row. I believe there are two more Langford brothers in the picture, and most of the remaining are the Sims family. They were married in 1908, so I have to guess this picture was taken around 1905-1907.
