Where these large portraits were found: Antique Store in Crossett
Antique Store Owner states she bought them in Bradley County as part of the Parnell Estate. Stated also, that it appeared that the Estate had a lot of collected items, thus unknown if this is part of the Parnell family.
These are Great Portraits, so I purchased them, believing that we needed to get them back to Bradley County where they belong. I own the originals, and am looking for Tennie’s family, direct decendant preferred.

Email received by Carolann Stanton-Taylor St. John:
"Carolann,
My name is Karen Reep Gage. I live in Monticello, AR. and found the Tennie Reep photos on the internet. Pauline Reep Parnell, my aunt, was most likely the estate these came from. She bought and sold furniture and odds and ends from her home in Warren.
I have found Tennie Reep listed in the genealogy records that my mother keeps. Tennie was also married to a Garrison.
There are not very many relatives who keep up with the "old" photos or are even interested any more. If a close relative does not come forward to ask about these photos, please email me at gagekc@seark.net, or my mother, Mrs. Kenneth Reep in Warren. We would love to have them in our collection.
Thanks,
Karen Gage"
