Lott/Kelly Family Pictures

                                                                 The Lott Family
I am guessing this picture was taken in Dale County Alabama around 1924. Momma Peacock, Lota Lott, looks like she is about 5 years old in this picture. She was born in 1919.

Mary Francis Rebecca Kelly Lott, known as Mollie Lott was born in Argyle, Florida in 1879. I hope this picture can be restored.


These pictures are labeled Joe Lott and Job Lott. I think they may be Tom Lott's brothers.


This picture is labeled "Miss Lota Lott" It is old enough to be Momma Peacock but we don't know for sure. It was in a box of old cards and letters that belonged to Grandma Mollie.

This picture is labeled Corine Weed. I am guessing she might be a niece of Grandma Mollie's.

These pictures were on their way to be burned when I found them in a box of dirty papers and trash from Uncle Damon's portable storage building. I don't know if Momma Peacock ever saw them. I also found letters and cards that belonged to Grandma Mollie and letters from Uncle Damon to Grandma Mollie and Uncle Charlie while he was in WWII. Grandma Mollie lived with Uncle Damon before she came to live with Momma Peacock in 1963. She passed away in 1964.


This is a cute picture of Tiny Bruner, daugther of Cassie Kelly Bruner. Cassie was Grandma Mollie's sister.
I am going to visit Tiny this Friday in Alabama. She is now in her 80's. She has been researching the Kelly Family history for 60 years. She will soon be ready to record her documented history in The Library of Congress. I am very excited to visit with her.


This is my Mom, Patricia's first grade picture.  Sooo Cute!

This is Momma Peacock's brother Charlie in grammer school.

Austin and Lorene Lott in the early 40's.

I will have more on the Lotts and Kelly family after I talk to Tiny. I promised her I would not post her information on the Kelly's until she has it recorded in The Library of Congress. I have more pictures coming soon too.
