Great picture. What a beautiful dress!
Thanks for posting it. bw
Her father was Andrew Rabb Newman, son of Joseph Newman and Rachel Rabb Newman, who were among Stephen F. Austin's first 300colonists to come to Texas and receive a land grant. Andrew moved to Rossville in the 1880s, reportedly to avoid the Taylor-Sutton Feud. This picture was handed down to me from my grandmother, Addie Newman Hearn, who was Andrew Rabb Newman's granddaughter. ~Elaine Adams
