I would like to obtain a photo of Charles Mallory Hendry, who was my grandfather's oldest brother and who lived in Moore Haven and buried at Venus. Also would like a photo of the schools prior to 1915 at Venus, Lakeport and Moore Haven. Any help is appreciated.

Comments:
I have been looking up my father’s side of the family. My father was John Gordon Albritton SR son of J.D. Albritton b.1908 d.1986 and Edith Taylor Albritton b.1913 d.1987 of Arcadia. My father had his grandfather's name as Frank and mother was Virginia Early Albritton maiden name Bryan. I am trying to find out about my grandfather's. I believe Noah F. Albritton b.1879 was JD Albritton's father and now I'm trying to trace Noah to his father. If any one could help that would be great.
