Hard life in a destitute region: there is some indication that Eliza was barely 12 years old when she married Melvin.

Hi Wally,

This is interesting! Maybe descendants of slaves? Some detective work to be done here!!

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend

Hello Peter -- This is from a small, mostly overgrown family graveyard in DownEast Maine, literally in the middle of hundreds of acres of wild blueberry fields, which my wife and I discovered by just "driving to nowhere to see what we could find". (So remote, a sheriff's patrol came by to check on us; or maybe he was just suspicious.) (I have geo-located the shot, if you want to take a look.) Demographically, this area is overwhelmingly and historically White, 90+% now, probably more in the past; about 60% with heritage from British Isles. So probably a hardscrabble poor white family barely able to make ends meet. I had done some internet research in the past, which is how I figured out Eliza was so young, but I don't remember the link.
Thanks for your interest in my shot. Regards, Wally

Great research on this shot, My Friend.

There is a place out in the county that I would love to wander around in -- but need to check with one of my Sheriff contacts ... they said let them know and they would go with me re: property lines and owners...
