Figure 168. Poster: Alex Gregg and Florence Gregg

Alex Gregg and his second wife Florence Henderson Gregg had this photograph made probably in the 1930s. Alex Gregg is the anchor for understanding the generations who appear in the stories that are told in the hewn-timber cabins exhibit. While Alex Gregg did not live in this cabin, he was born in a similar cabin beside Jefferies Creek in 1844 and died in a similar hewn-timber house on the Gregg/Wallace farm in 1938. Gregg raised his grandson Archie Waiters and we are indebted to him for much of the information that Waiters provided about nineteenth-century life.
