| Mary Louise Vaughan Dallis, ca 1915 |
Mary Louise Vaughan Dallis, my great aunt, was an
interesting lady. Born in 1889, she was
one of six girls born to Albert Bell Vaughan, Jr. and his second wife, Georgia
Camp Vaughan, one of seven daughters in the family of nine children.
Like all the Vaughan
girls, Louise attended college, later teaching school for many years. She was also a talented artist. I am privileged to have three pieces that she
painted including the watercolor she painted as a wedding present for my
husband and me.
Through the years, Louise also kept a number of photo albums
and a scrapbook, four of which were passed on to me by an aunt. Besides family portraits, the books also have
photos that show life in the central Georgia
town of LaGrange ,
Louise’s home for most of her life.
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing some of the
interesting things I have found in her albums and scrapbook. I hope you enjoy looking at “Life With
Louise”.
What great treasures to have! I also had a great aunt that kept scrapbooks. Her scrapbooks went to a local genealogy society so I have never seen them but I hope to one day. Looking forward to seeing what your treasures hold.
