"Annie Liggett Bryner, sister of George, Carrie, Laura, and Emma," 1886 by Ann Longmore-Etheridge Via Flickr: Annie Liggett was born in Saville Township, Perry Co., Pennsylvania in December 1859 to Samuel (1811-1889) and Anne Milligan Liggett (1821-1888). The couple had married on April 28, 1846. Her elder sister Laura Jane was born in 1849; brother George Alfred had been born in 1852; sister Emma Ada had been born in March 1856; Carrie Eleanor was born in 1862. On the 1870 census, Annie can be found living her father who is the 59-year-old proprietor of an iron factory; her mother, Laura, Emma, and Carrie, as well as 18-year-old George, who works in the foundry. According to the book "The History of Perry Country," 1922, by Harry H. Hain, this was Clinton Foundry, which Liggett had built and owned. Laura Liggett married William Flickinger in November 1876. She died in 1933. By 1880, George--now an engineer, presumably at Clinton Foundry--has married a woman named Leah and moved out to start his own family of two daughters and 2 sons, but he hasn't strayed far, living right next door to his parents. (As late as 1910, George is living in Perry Country with his wife, several of his daughters and grandchildren.) Annie married Dr. Newton E. Bryner on October 14, 1886. He seems to have come into the area to replace the previous local physician. The above cabinet card was probably taken at the time of their marriage. Unfortunately, Newton, a graduate in medicine of the University of New York, was dead in less than a year. He passed in April 1887 at Cisna Run (his father's farm), Perry Co., PA. (Note: there seems to be some confusion amongst the Liggett siblings. There may have been another daughter--or the daughter of another Perry County family--named Anna Eliza who was born in 1859 and died in 1877. If this is the case, she was not the woman who marred Newton Brynner in 1886, clearly, as this photo and subsequent census listings bear out. There is also confusion about the death date of Dr. Bryner with some sources giving it as 1877. His alma mater, the University of New York, clearly states in its roster of graduates that Bryner died in 1887.) Annie appears on the 1900 census for Saville Township, Perry Co., as a 40-year-old widow living with Emma Liggett Scott, her 44-year-old sister, who lists her occupation as a farmer who has been married for one year. No husband appears to live in house. The situation had not changed 10 years later, when on the 1910 census, both sisters are still living together and living on their own income. This was derived, presumably, by Emma's ownership of her father's foundry, which is noted in the Haim history. By 1920, the husband had returned: he is 55-year-old James W. Scott, who is a decade younger than his wife. All of them appear to be living on their own incomes. Annie Liggett Bryner in 1927.

Knee-Deep In The Getty Archives

And it is soooo good.

I found a real gem for this weeks The Sunday Delight. Getty Images, the image catalogue founded by John Paul Getty’s grandson Mark Getty, is the largest commercial photogrpahy archive in the world. It is filled with ~80 million pictures, illutrations and 30,000 hours of film.

Thankfully, @gettyimagesfanclub has been doing God’s work for the past couple of years, crawling through the database and putting late 90’s-to-early-00’s content where it belongs: In 2023s bright social media spotlight.

And today we’re going in.

『仙台おもてなし花壇』

休日の早朝。

人通りのない、少し寂し気な定禅寺通りを抜けて、近くの公園へ。 爽やかな光に溢れた定禅寺通りには、静かな時間が流れています。

『仙台おもてなし花壇』の看板が添えられた、丁寧に手入れをされた小さな花壇には、可愛らしいお花たちがにこやかに肩を並べていました。こんな、街のささやかな心遣いが嬉しかったりします。

いつの日か、このおもてなし花壇が、訪れた人たちを笑顔にできる時がくるといいなあ。

『Hospitality flowerbed of Sendai City』

Early morning of the holiday. I go through Jozenji street to the nearby park. The Jozenji street is filled with fresh light and quiet time flows. I find a small flower garden with a 『Hospitality flowerbed of Sendai City』 sign. The flowerbed was carefully cared for, and adorable flowers stood side by side smiling. I am happy with the small consideration of the town. One day, I hope that this small 『Hospitality flowerbed』 will make visitors smile.

Searching, Searching | Spotted Sandpiper | New York

Early spring is also a great time to see shorebirds like the Spotted Sandpiper. Watch for these small shorebirds along the edges of water at your local parks and rivers. The Spotted Sandpiper will search the edges of local ponds, lakes, and rivers looking for food. Our local parks have always ben a goldmine for my birdwatching and photogrpahy. This Spotted Sandpiper standing up on a piece of…
