William Adam Jackson Loyd and Ader Grant


This is a picture of my great grandparents William Adam Jackson Loyd and Ader Grant.  They had ten children, of which my grandfather, Carl Loyd, was number seven.  William and Ader were married on 6 Jan 1910 in Clinton, Van Buren, Arkansas.  In this picture, taken about 1938-1940,  from left to right is William Adam Jackson Loyd, Harlan W Loyd, Ader Grant, an unknown little girl, and Sybil Loyd.  The unknown girl is most likely a relative but we don't know her name.  Harlan and Sybil are my grandfather's youngest siblings.  I love this picture not only because of the people in it, but because of what is seen in the background.  It gives me a little peek into the things that surrounded their world.  And I love that Harlan is dressed up as a police officer with his handcuffs.  This is my family!
