Joseph Wright Sigley

I think these two shots are of Joseph Wright Sigley, my great grandfather and father of grandmother Lillian Morley Sigley Tidd. These were taken in 1955, so that would probably make him around 70, but that is just a guess. I didn't get to know him. He apparently had some trouble walking or perhaps had hurt himself, because there are crutches beside him.

CECELIA MORLEY LONGMORE & EMMA BROOK MORLEY

Cecelia Morley Longmore (2 April 1857 - 27 February 1929) was my great great grandmother, mother to Elizabeth Laura Longmore (who married Joseph Wright Sigley on 22 November 1904), who was mother to my grandmother Lillian Morley Sigley. Cecelia's husband was Charles Richard Longmore (d. 7 January 1924). This beautiful woman had a rough life in many ways, losing at least four children in tender years, as well as two grown sons at the end of WWI. She was a lifelong resident of Trenton and a member of the Third Presbyterian Church.


Cecelia's mother apparently was Emma Brook Morley (making her my great great great grandmother). She looks like a stern woman, but you can never tell from photos.
