Levi & Cora......
1894..............this is Levi & Cora Burnworth............................my paternal great~grandparents...................grandpa passed before i was born, he was a minister & farmer.................................................................grandmother was one talented woman, a hard worker...............................an artist.....................................i have a few of her beautiful paintings...(she would never sign them....said they weren't good enough)....... my aunt gave me their beautiful wedding certificate that she painted..............and i have a geneology chart that was in pieces, headed for the trash......it has wonderful calligraphy & painting, but never finished.....i am way to sentimental for my own good.......but it is preserved.....framed.........and hopefully Mayah will love it that grammy took the time to save a piece of history for her.........................................grandmother was blind in her later years, but was still able to pick up the brush and do a little painting..............................i can still see her ......with her wonderful silver hair and captivating smile.............................and always loved that i took the time to give her a hug

What a wonderful photo- and how wonderful you did preserve that piece of family history!
Lovely woman, so glad you were able to preserve some of her artwork. I really like their picture. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful photo!! And an even lovelier story and memories....I don't think one can be too sentimental, can they? I think it is wonderful that you are preserving those treasures - wish I had more (some?) to preserve...Love their names too. Hope you'll share photos of the certificate, chart, and paintings some time soon! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
It makes me happy to see that you have pictures and stories of your ancestors. It gives one a bigger sense of self and where they came from if they have those things. Thanks for sharing.
