My great-grandmother's wedding day photo - October 30, 1907
This is my great-grandmother Sibyl on her wedding day with her first husband, George Robert Lake. She was 18 years old. He was in his early 20s and sadly passed away a little over a year after the marriage from a lung ailment. They had no children. She married my great-grandfather 2 years later.

Red House - June 2014
Went through Red House in Charlotte County & stopped in the middle of the road to take a photo of the historical marker. I'm such a sucker for these signs ...
