  • This photograph of Lillie Alloway Strange Scroggs, also known as "Granny" Scroggs, was taken by Doris Ulmann when she came to Brasstown, N.C. in the summer of 1933. Scroggs was a member of the Brasstown community who was significant in supporting the creation of the John C. Campbell Folk School in that the initial parcel of land donated to the school came from her family. Scroggs was born on January 13, 1869. She married Lucius Leander Scroggs, also known as "L.L" Scroggs or "Uncle Luce" Scroggs on August 18, 1886.
