Friday's Photo: Grandma Trott

I suspect this is Louisa Trucks (also seen as Cynthia Louisa Trucks) who married Benjamin Franklin Trott. If so, she would be the mother of William Jackson Trott of Bienville Parish and grandmother to his children Lillie Mae Trott, Allie Belle Trott, and William Bryan Trott. 

Louisa was born on 31 October 1848 in Alabama and died on 14 Jun 1925 in Bibb County, Alabama. She and her husband are buried in Six Mile Cemetery, Six Mile in Bibb County.

Friday's Photo: Sam Trott

This is another photo from the Frye family collection. [1] Written on the back is "Sam Trott." Sam was a younger brother of William J. Trott of Bienville Parish, Louisiana who was seen in last Friday's post and several other posts.[2] 

Samuel J. Trott was born in 1879 to Benjamin F. Trott and Cynthia Louisa Trucks in Bibb County, Alabama. He married Jessie Fancher. Sam died in 1948 and Jessie in 1976. They are buried in the Six Mile Cemetery in Bibb County. [3]

I tried to clean the photo with Adobe Photoshop (not my skillset). It looks a little better than the original. I put the correction beside a photo of young William J. Trott and can see some similarities. 

This photo of William J. Trott was scanned from an album that
once belonged to Marguerite Cook Clark.[4]
