A few weeks ago, we went to South Carolina. We hit up a few cemeteries on the Albea, Witt, Dorn, Quattlebaum lines. We visited Edgewood Cemetery, Bold Springs Baptist Church and Bethel United Methodist Church. I uploaded the photos to findagrave.com. Click the links to leave this site and go to findagrave.com.

We have a pack of negatives from my maternal grandparents side. Today I scanned them and reversed the images. They came out really well. The only thing: I don't know who these people are!

The package is marked Globe Photo Service, Greenville, SC. The customer's name looks like Paul Hand. It's written in pencil, and the photos are probably from the 40's, so it's hard to tell for sure. Here are some of the photos, let me know if you recognize them!
