My mom came across this old newspaper article and photo from the 1960s.
Her grandmother is front and center, Harriett Loretta Briggs Allen,
and in this photo are her sisters and brothers at a Briggs family reunion.
Harriet, my great-grandmother, was born in 1881
and died in 1967.
She was the daughter of Edward West Briggs and Laura J Proffitt Briggs
She married Joby Allen and together they had 11 children -
one was my grandmother -
Ethel Mae Allen who would marry John Sherman Rice.
