Friday's Photo: DeRay Bryan, a Seymour High School Graduate

This may be a photo of a music group. Two of Dad's sisters,
DeRay and Willie Mae, can be seen in this photo.

My father's sister, Monte DeRay Bryan was born 118 years ago today in Erath County, Texas but spent most of her childhood in Baylor County. I first saw this photo in September 2001 on a research trip to Texas. There were several old yearbooks in the library in Seymour where I copied photos and learned much about Dad's siblings. Many of the old Seymour High School yearbooks can now be found on Ancestry.com. 

This photo was found in the 1920 Jackrabbit. DeRay was a senior that year. To see more about DeRay, her first teaching contract in Seymour, and additional photos read 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks: #3 Monte DeRay Bryan. Her senior photo and more can be found at #52ancestors Post Fourteen: Monte DeRay Bryan.
