The page is not affiliated with any organization or governmental entity, but please note that the Genealogical Research Room operated by the Giles County Historical Society and the Giles County Archives, a function of country government, are excellent local resources for research into family and community history.

Nearby, a man and a woman stand with two horses and a dog, adding to the pastoral scene. The animals, essential to life on the farm, highlight the close relationship between people and their livestock in rural communities.
