More than you ever wanted to know about Alabama native Joe Watts
Have taken a little time off this holiday season and have been scanning old family photos. Brother-in-law Bill Till found this particularly awesome photo of my grandmother, Sadie Hinson, in his ancestry research. Never seen it before. (She is the one with the guitar)
Pages 1-10 of an old photo album from Octagon, Alabama. Hinson Family photos.

Found this photo in a box that I didn’t know existed in our basement. A couple of other small treasures in it as well. I’ll scan those in later. For those new to this blog, my Aunt Gladys (my father Clark Watts’ sister) lived in Alaska for years in the 1930’s – 1950’s. This must be one of the older photos of her. She was a school teacher.
Okay, I don’t really know the history behind any of these, but liked them. Anyone have any comments?
Below, my Uncle Lauren (actually Great Uncle) poses in front of Pike’s Peak, along with a large number of Skinner family members. Imagine traveling out west in that one car with all those people! Uncle Lauren continued to travel much longer than his ability to drive safely (I think he grew up when his was the only car on the road and he sort of couldn’t understand that he needed to be concerned about other cars). (Uncle Lauren was uncle to my father–Clark Watts.)
