I wanted to share this family photo of Ernie Thornton with the community. Cemetery  Location for my grandmother... Theodocia Ernie Bedgood Thornton BIRTH Nov 1883 Alabama, USA DEATH 1910 (aged 26–27) Brazos County, Texas, USA BURIAL Martins Prairie Cemetery Keith, Grimes County, Texas, USA. Date: not certain, but photo credit is to gmdarling.   I was about 80 years old when I found this photo and other facts...treasure trove of evidence credit to Eleanor Colson....

When I opened the info at Findagrave, I was overwhelmed by this stately photo of a lady that I never met...imagine 80 years and just seeing for the first time...my granny Thornton!  I cry easily...I get mad easier.  I cannot look at this photo without tearing up.   Thanks for enjoying this photo and if you have photos of my granddad...Francis (Frank) Eugene Thornton, go ahead and make an old man cry...share it...He is important to me.  If you don't think this lady is beautiful, have your eyes checked.

Lovely photo, Johnny! The Find a Grave memorial is at this link. Should the death year on the profile be changed from 1919 to 1910?

Yep! My typing ....January 13, 1910 makes it correct...thanks... good eye...God bless.
