  1. Your image of James Franklin Jollett as a young man looks a little like Lewis Logan Jollett (my uncle) at least to my eyes. Funny how these features run in families from generation to generation. Logan Jollett died this year in July, aged 98. You can see a photo of Logan as a youngish man here:

    1. So true. I can see my great-aunt Velma in my daughter and Violetta in my granddaughter. My other daughter looks so much like my husband's grandmother's older sister. I love noticing family resemblance.
