(note from email to site: "Jamie Tippens was my mother, and I grew up with this portrait hanging over the fireplace in our home on 15th Ave. So., within sight of aunt Adelicia's home, Bellmont. My mother may have copied this, but I know this to be the original, as she was very proud of it. We lived in Nashville, not Memphis, Tennessee. Sara Clements Hightower was my great great grandmother.")
