These photos are primarily WALKER, Smithen & related families. Most were taken in and around Navarro Co. & Ellis Co. Texas … Blooming Grove, Ensign, Lone Cedar, Corsicana, Cryer Creek, Dresden. Many of these have been previously published on my Ancestry.com family tree but I felt they would be more accessible to others via this website.
If I have misidentified anyone or if any caption requires modification, please email me at the address listed on my “Contact” page of this website. If you have any photos you feel are related to these families that you would like posted on this website, please email me.
Before using any photograph from this website, please read the letter posted on May 1, 2016, entitled RELEASE OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

An old photo marked ” Lone Cedar School” and a year date that appears to read, 1912. There are four children that have “X” marks on or over them. On the back of the photo is written, “Unknown, Evie, J.D., Myrtle”. These would be Evie Walker (Loosier) my grand-aunt … J.D. Walker, my grand-uncle, and, Myrtle Walker (Smithen) my grandmother.
