I just discovered this photo today (thanks to my cousin Lewis) and thought my family might enjoy it.
This is my 3rd great-grandmother on the Lewis side, Catherine (Wilson) Bishop. She was born 1828 in Lincolnshire, England. She came to Michigan in 1840, when the State of Michigan was only three years old. She died 1914 in Freeland, Michigan (which is near Saginaw.)

She and her husband, Samuel Bishop, also an immigrant Englishman, had eleven children together. Six of Catherine's children survived her. Her oldest daughter, Sarah, was the wife of my 2d great-grandfather, William Thomas Lewis.
