The library you have pictured has been recently remodeled and now has a rather large (for a tiny town) history room. A gentelman who works in the Library is a Lantz descendent and does much of the work in the history room. If you are ever through our tiny town again stop in the library and ask for Eric.

The little boy is my grandfather Irving that the family called "Moses." Laura is next. Daughter Marie would be holding her Mom's hand. I think the man whose legs you see is son Abe. Daughter Emma is missing from the photo. I think I have a scan of the "whole photo" somewhere that came from a cousin's collection. This is a copy that had belonged to my cousin Sally, and it was damaged.Lori Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818111640670098850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248183.post-20507393063985504722008-05-05T09:48:00.000-04:002008-05-05T09:48:00.000-04:00Lori,Your photograph and description of Stephen Ta...Lori,<BR/><BR/>Your photograph and description of Stephen Taylor's son Isaac reminded me that the majority of men who died during the Civil War did so of disease, and not the result of wounds incurred in battle. <BR/><BR/>Great photographs -- can you identify all the people in front of the Lantz home in Illinois?<BR/><BR/>JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476918537317701594noreply@blogger.com
