[Photograph of Louisa Prater Rogers]

Photograph of Louisa "Lou" Prater Rogers sitting in a rocking chair on the porch of a house with the number 810 over the front door. She and her husband, Samuel G. Rogers, lived at 810 N. Throckmorton Street in Sherman, Texas [the Sherman City Directory incorrectly lists their house number as 910, but the number 810 can clearly be seen over the door frame] Louisa was the daughter of Erby "Erb" Boyd Prater and Katurah S. "Kitty." She did not marry until 1897. Samuel worked as a driver and Lou stayed at home as a housewife, possibly because of health issues (she was asthmatic). Other photos of the Prater family are also included in this collection.

[Portrait of Margaret Almeda Harpole Prater]

Portrait of Margaret Almeda Harpole with gray hair and wearing a black dress. A handwritten note on the back of the photo identifies the woman and notes her date of birth as March 31, 1857 [this date cannot be true for two reasons: in the 1860 census she is listed as being nine years old, which makes more sense for her age at time of marriage: 17 instead of 11]. She married Richard Wesley Prater in 1868. Margaret died in Smith County, Texas. A photo of Richard Prater can also be found in the collection, as well other members of the Prater family.
