"These two
pictures were taken by my Great Uncle, J. W. Rees who was a conductor
for the Cotton Belt RR. The picture of the Lavon Depot (above) actually
has my grandfather in it. These pictures were developed from antique
glass negatives recovered from my great grandmother's house. They
were from the early 1900's. I just wanted to make sure my uncle is
credited as the photographer. Thank you," Patricia McPearson
