William Martin Chandler family
Identified on the larger photograph below are William Martin Chandler (seated at left) holding Isaac born 1886 and Mary M. Brown Chandler (seated at right) holding Mattie. The boys in front are John (left) and Lewis (Major Lewis). Standing at back are (from left) Edward, Will and Sarah. Mattie was born June 22, 1889, so this family portrait was probably made about 1890. Born later were Cecil Cicero Chandler (1891) and Mary Leola Chandler (1894). The six older children were born in Georgia and the three youngest in Texas. |
