Wm C Holcomb was a master mechanic on the Illinois Central Railroad. He lived in Water Valley, Mississippi, in a small white frame house with green shutters and a big back addition added later. They called the lawn the "croquet ground." They had a black helper named Paralee who used to go out on Sundays and wring the necks of chickens for fried chicken dinner. Paralee had a nice family. Martha (my grandmother) stayed in touch with her younger brother, Toy, in Indianapolis, where he used to come over and help her with chores. (This is from Martha's recollection)
They built a home east of Water Valley, on a road that became East Street. He worked as a molder for the Illinois Central Railroad, where he made parts for the engines. He had a beautiful orchard and garden at home. (Taken from an article written by Jewell Holcombe Williams for the Yalobusha Co. History Book and forwarded to my mother by Betty Summers.)

Sarah Lou was named, as was the custom in those days, after the confederate states. In the 1880 Census she is still at home with her parents.

An artistic rendition (Photoshopped) of a beautiful Maine farm house I shot this summer. Makes you want to grab a chair and sip a cold ice tea.

Surrounded by books and shopping for more. A very comfortable environment for a "Bluestocking".

Here’s my Grandmother, Mama Nina, in her rocking chair. It was built by my grandfather some 50 years ago. It's a chair that's been used to rest in, nap and rock babies to sleep; including myself. Every time I go back I make sure I nestle myself in and rock away.
Le Rocking chair Ro-Ro est une pièce design particulièrement simple et confortable. Son design moderne et efficace en fait une pièce résolument moderne et apprécié dans votre intérieur.
I photographed the headrest of a rocking chair that I got at a thrift store for one of the themes in "113 Pictures in 2013". Theme #70 is Empty.
A bit of photo editing shows that the metal plate isn't entirely blank/empty but I'm going to go with it anyhow. Whatever it vaguely says is empty of meaning to me.

I got this little rocking chair for my third birthday from my Great Aunt Emily. It's about eight inches tall, and I used to have a doll and a stuffed panda (from Great Aunt Sarah at the same birthday) that were the right size to sit in it. I still have the panda, but the doll didn't make the cut when I went through my old stuff.
