Return to Trimble County

Trimble County, Kentucky
1950
In August of 1950, my grandfather, Frank Lewis Lee, his sister, Daisy Lee Long, and their brothers, Linus Virgil Lee and Sidney Orin Lee, returned to Trimble County, Kentucky where they spent so much of their childhood.  They visited the places of their youth:  the home of their Gill grandparents where Frank and Daisy were born, the home of their Lee grandparents, the old Jackson School where Frank and Daisy went to class, Wise's Landing, the Bedford Cemetery, and their own homeplace (pictured above).  On this visit, they took a series of wonderful 3 1/2" x 11 1/2" black and white photos.  I have my granddad's copies of these photos, and, what's even better is that Granddad labeled all but one of them!  So, as I promised in yesterday's post, here they are.  Hope you enjoy them.

This is the only photo that wasn't labeled.  Bedford, maybe?
