New Connection

On Oct. 25 a genealogy friend, Nancy White, was in the news. They were naming a street after her great-great-great-grandfather, Malichi J. Beasley, the city's first police officer killed in the line of duty.

This got me on a roll again and I revisited a few photos I hadn't seen in a while. Suddenly I pulled an "unknown" female photo up side-by-side of the family photo that Nancy had previously identified as that of Malichi, his wife Sophia (Cartwright) and their daughter Eva. Lo, and behold, it was a match!!!
  

Both of these photos came from my own grandmother, Mary Love Fulford Dozier and I've had them for years. I've had my suspicions, but this just goes to show you, that sometimes fresh eyes can help you see the obvious! Thanks Nancy for giving it the once over!
