Granny's Brag Book

     Thanks to Annette for sharing Granny's brag book. I am guessing Granny carried this small  photo album with her and it is full of her grandchildren's school photos and pictures of her sisters and mother. I have scanned all of them and want you all to be able to see. I did take them out of the album and put them in an archival quality box in order to slow down the fading.

Mom, please feel free to correct or add any details I have missed.



Granny is in the middle with Aunt Hattie Lucinda Nugent Allbritton ( married to Uncle Tim) on her right and Aunt Mamie on her left. 


Granny and PawPaw, circa 1974


Aunt Mamie and Aunt Babe. Babe, or Minnie Olevia, died in 1938. 


Aunt Martha, Granny and Aunt Mamie 


Mary Jane Doughty Allbritton. We have her to thank for our Mayflower ancestry. 


Mary, Martha, and Mamie.

Uncle Beamie and Uncle Vernon. Does anyone know why we call him that? 


The Spell family with Granny and PawPaw. 

I'll save the cousins school photos for another post. My goodness, there are a bunch of us.
