Description
my Great grand father came to Texas Gulf Coast and he originally built a home near Rockport but a hurricane destroyed his house. He salvaged materials from the wreck and also from wrecked ships. the house is constructed from cypress and he also built fine furniture that is in the museum.this feet driven saw is what he used to do all the scroll work on his Victorian style home.it originally had 3 rooms. I just learned not long ago of the house and his history from a cousin through my sister's research.
I also was able to met a cousin that is 93 years young. she is such a lovely lady. she is going to have surgery soon to repair her broken hip. she is an artist and mostly done oil paintings. she got her degree from college late in life. She told me when she was young she had the time but no money. later she had the money but no time. finally she had both and went for the gusto
joking with her, I told her when she gets her hip fixed I will take her out dancing. she said it is a date, but no kissin' cousin stuff!!haha
I added that last part
thanks for looking and any comments

Not everyone is famous in this world but everyone has a story. Sometimes it takes a few generations to unearth the worth of a person, but almost always there is a fascinating story in everyone's life. This is one of those stories and I know how proud you must be. Great shot and I love the history.
