      Hello, do you have any pictures of Trinity CME Church or Trinity Cemetery in Luray, SC? I’m working on my family tree and many of my ancestors attended this church and are buried in Trinity Cemetery. Thank you!

      My grandfather, Chalmers Farmer, owned Farmer’s drugs with his brother, Charles. Would love to get a copy of this picture of downtown Allendale?

      Hello, I am searching for any photos of Granny’s Kitchen that was located on Hwy 301. My grandparents owned the restaurant and I spent my summer’s working there. Any photos are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

      I am writing a history of Allendale where I grew up to present to a group in Greenville, SC. How can I get permission to use some of the photos in a Power Point?
