A picture of pioneers
The picture of Albert Gallatin Lloyd and Lois H. Jasper is one of my favorites. The background is perfect for this couple. Albert came west via the Oregon Trail in 1845 when he was 8 years old. Lois traveled came across the Oregon Trail in 1854 when she was 12 years old. They are my great great grandparents.
They married in 1858 when Albert Gallatin (A.G.) was 21 and Lois, was 16 in Benton County, Oregon. Their first son, John Calvin was born the next year. Soon after his birth, they moved to Waitsburg, Walla Walla County, Washington and took up a homestead.
A. G. & Lois were successful farmers in Waitsburg, Washington. They were the parents of 11 children, with twins dying near birth. The family had a long history in Walla Walla County and were among the first settlers in that area.
A. G. died in 1915 and Lois died in 1930. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in May of 1908.
I wonder if this picture was taken in 1908
I think the setting for the picture is very unique. I don't believe I have seen anything similar. Notice the ground cover!
Because it is a favorite picture, I used MyHeritage colorization effect.
It is definitely a favorite photo!
