House at Blevins, Texas - home of Benjamin Louis Landrum and Clara (Tull) Powell

This was the house that was built by Ben and Cora (Bowers) Taylor at Blevins, Texas. They are shown here on the porch with baby son, Roy and daughter, Ruth-pt

Notice small dog on left side of the porch. Not shown in this copy of this picture is a horse and rider to the right in the picture. He has been identified as Allen McBride who was a boarder in the Taylor home at the time. Also, the child peeping out the window may have been Ron Litteral who was a neighbor of the Taylors.

This house later was lived in by Robert and Georgia (Standridge) Bowers. In 1910 their daughter Lella May was married to Charley David Stone, the wedding took place at this house, now home of Georgia Bowers-lsc

Wedding Picture - Daniel and Aurillia Bowers Home at Blevins

Cora (Bowers) and Ben Taylor are the first couple shown on the left of the picture.

Copies of this picture were in the homes of many Bowers-Taylor descendants of these couples. I think that is important to show them when they appear in a family - it supports identification of the names and dates of pictures.
