Rick, thank you so much for posting these wonderful old photos. It's really good to see what our ancestors looked like. William looks as though he might have been a tall fellow, and perhaps a lot taller than Nancy.

Wonderful old picture. Was she expecting?
Dorothy Campbell - Mar 13, 2009
Bet she was. I have always thought that when looking at this old photo. This is the best copy I have seen so far. I have a few copies too. Believe I have their headstones some place too, will have to find them.

I am 6' 4", the height gene carried down my line. My belief is her large stomach was more likely a benign tumor.

Interesting, Rick. My Lewallen grandfather was over 6 feet tall as were his sons (my uncles). I don't know how tall his dad (William Henry L.) was. Wm Henry was the grandson of Wiley Lewallen.
