Friday's Photo: A Trott Family Home in Bienville Parish

Been Working on Fence is written at the bottom of this Frye family photo.
Pictured are William J. Trott, his wife Lula Laura Cook, and daughters Lillie Mae and Allie Belle.

This is a priceless photo from the Frye family collection.  Family members were identified on the back of the photo and the year as 1908. In 1908, William Jackson Trott was about 42 years old in this photo. His wife, Lula Laura Cook, was about 34 years old and the girls were 11 and 12 years old. 

I don't believe this photo was taken in 1908. Those girls look much too young. And, a third child, William Bryan Trott was born in 1905. In 1908, he may have been in the picture as well. 

Two doors and a dark space seen in the middle indicates this might be a dogtrot style house. 

 

The Trott farm home is written on the back of this photo. 
This appears to be the same home with two additions.
