Friday's Photo: Benjamin F. Trott and Daughter Annie

The back of this photo from the Frye family collection identified B. F. Trott and Mrs. W. A. Gibbons.[1] 

Benjamin F. Trott was the father of William Jackson Trott who married Lula Laura Cook in 1893 in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Lula was the daughter of Josie Bryan and Joseph W. Cook.[2] 

Mrs. W. A Gibbons is the former Annie Trott, daughter of Benjamin F. Trott and sister to William Jackson Trott. She was married to Wylie A. Gibbons.[3]

I suspect that this photo was not taken in Bienville Parish but at the home of Benjamin Trott or Annie Gibbons in Bibb County, Alabama. There is no date on the photo but Benjamin Trott died at age 83 in 1924.[4]
