  Travis, William Hardy and Grace (Ener) Family, Sabine County, Texas A photo of the William Hardy and Grace (Ener) Travis family, taken sometime prior to the 1915 death of Hardy's mother, Sophronia White Travis. Sophronia is the elderly lady, seated on the left of the photo. Hardy and Grace are also seated, surrounded by their 10 daughters and two sons. The legend to the photo is courtesy of Robert Cecil McDaniel. When listing the daughters, he used the last names of their husbands and husbands-to-be, even though several of the daughters had not yet married at the time this photo was taken. The family lived in near Housin Bayou in Sabine County, Texas.
