| We found this in a plain white envelope, one of many items discovered in the desk of Virginia Shumate Moran. b.Jan 10, 1888 d. April 22, 1970 It is obvious that whoever they are, they were precious to Mrs. Moran because it has a glass cover, the frame is tin and the tintypes appear to be soldered into the frame. Of all the tintypes we've found so far, this is the only one which is in a frame. |
Moran Place is located in Dresden,TN. Built by John Williamson Moran for his wife Sophia Riley Gunn. The house used a modified design of George Barber's Cottage no. 36 from his Cottage Souvenir Book No. 2. Construction began in 1895 but was put on hold when Sophia Moran became ill. She died Oct. 7 1895. A few months after her death construction resumed. This blog is about the history of the Moran family & their life at Moran Place. Money is fleeting, History is forever.
