We’re looking back on family #ThrowbackThursday!

This week’s highlight is a 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ black and white photograph that is a composite of two portraits, one of a man and one of a woman. The man wears a white shirt and a dark coat; he has a long bushy beard. The woman wears a blouse with a bow at the neck and a dark jacket; she also wears eyeglasses and a hat. The two portraits are oval shaped, surrounded by a white borders. At the bottom of the photograph, “Grandfather Samuel W. Rising” and “Grandmother Polly Rising” is written.

This image is owned and published by the Rising City Community Library. The collection of photographs are currently displayed at the library. These images include photographs of businesses on Main Street, the depot, church, post office, a major fire, and portraits of the Rising family.
