The photographs below do not show the best resolution or definition here on this page I had to format the page to show the pictures at a smaller size than the original graphics file. The actual size of most of them is 640 pixels in width with varying heights, averaging 450 pixels. They were scanned at 720 dpi, then saved in .JPG format, with a compression factor of 15.
You can see each picture in full size by right-clicking your mouse pointer on a picture, then choosing "View Image" or whatever choice your web browser gives you for viewing.
To download a photo, right-click the mouse pointer on the photo and choose "Save to File", "Save Image As", or whatever choice your web browser gives you. If you want to print a picture, you should download it first, then use your graphics browser to setup and configure the picture. Attempting to print a picture directly from a web page gives varying results, from excellent to downright awful, depending on your graphics browser program and printer.

A nice photo of the interior of the church. You can read about the church organ, assignment of the pews, rennovation of the interior, etc., in John Blankenbaker's "Short Notes on Germanna History". (Link to these Notes from the home page.)

This is another picture of the Hebron Lutheran Church Cemetery, showing a BROYLES tombstone. I don't know which particular BROYLES is buried here, as I don't have a photo of the front side.

This house is located in Greeneville, TN. It was built by Charles Anthony LOVETTE in the late 1800's, before he and his entire family moved to Kinsley, KS, in December, 1885.
William M. BROYLES (the great-grandfather of this writer, George W. Durman) was hired by Charles to burn the bricks used in constructing the house. One of Charles' daughters was Samantha Josephine LOVETTE and during the construction of the house, she and William fell in love and were subsequently married.
