My great grandparents Randolph Parrott (1863-1943) and Alice Murphy (1868-1936). Photo is from 1892-1897.

Randolph played fiddle, and his son Amos (my great uncle) learned to play Yankee Doodle on it when he was 7.

Randolph actually went to Notre Dame for a semester or two. Wealthier farmers of the time often sent their sons for a little "polishing."

Alice was a great cook, very kind. She died when dad was 10, so he remembered her well. She told Amos some stories he passed down to me.
