Daniel and Mary Proctor

Dr. Daniel Proctor  (1812-1895) and Mary Jane Story Proctor (1826-1917)

Growing up I remember seeing these tin-type photos hanging on our wall.  They had lovely oval frames and I often looked at these two and marveled at the resemblance I saw between my father and his great-grandfather.  See what I mean?

Daniel Proctor was a well respected member of his community according to his 1895 obituary:

SISTER, 12x12", Mixed Media by Alisa Proctor   

Everyone always said Evelyn was the "pretty" one.  So eventually Gertrude started to believe it too.
