Photo of a photo of Thomas Brown and Julia Ann O'Brien

This is the only photo I have of Thomas Brown and Julia Ann O'Brien. It's off center and has lines running through it but I'm ever so grateful for the cousin from Indiana who sent it to me! If anyone has another picture of them, I'd love to have a copy.

Thomas and Julia lived in Indiana and, for a short time, Missouri. Thomas died in 1898 and Julia went on to live thirty more years as a widow.
