The One That Got Away, A Follow Up
Yesterday, I went to my Dad's to look through some of our family's old photos. One of my favorite ones is below.
My Dad and I figure this picture was taken around 1897 somewhere in or around Kewanee, IL. The man in the buggy is my great-great-grandfather, Thomas "Tom" Chisnall. Beside him is his second wife Rosa (Miller) Chisnall, my great-great-grandmother. The children with them are my great-grandmother Annie Chinsall (later Damaske) and her brother, John "Jack" Chisnall. They were all residents and/or owners of the family home at 423 Tremont St., Kewanne, IL, featured in this post.

I love old photographs. How nice to have something like that.
I have to agree. Really, it was pretty wild going through the family photos. I had no idea my dad has so many, hundreds upon hundreds of them.
John I live 10 minutes from Kewanee. Small world. I have driven by this also. my doctor use to be on tremont st. Love the old pics and the house.
