dee_burrisI have occasionally mentioned frequently whined about my great grandmother Maxie Leah Meek's failure to label so many of the wonderful photos in her photo album.
As I initially paged through it after my mother's death in 2004, I wondered why we had so many photos of Teddy Roosevelt in our album. I can imagine that my Williams great grandparents were supportive of their President, but still, it was a mystery to me.
And lo and behold...one of them was labeled, like this one in the Williams family photo album.
It was that last one. It said Desha on the back of it.
That was Maxie's husband, Jo Desha Williams.
Here's a photo of the real Teddy Roosevelt.
As far as I know, I have no kinship to the Roosevelts.
But I believe my great grandfather was a dead ringer for one of them...

Head over there to look at more wonderful old photos and postcards.
