You guys seemed to like the last post I did where I shared some old pictures with you so I thought I would do another one.
The little girl standing up in the back is my grandma, Mary Evans. She was my dad's mother. She's with some of her siblings and her parents, (my dad's grandparents). This picture was taken in 1905. They had several more kids after this picture was taken. The baby sitting on her mother's lap is my great Aunt Zona who is in the middle picture below.
This was taken in 1985 and is my Great Aunt Zona and her sisters Lillian and Geneve. These are my grandma's sisters.
These three ladies were my great aunts. (My grandpas sisters) They all died in a train accident before I was born. Look at that car behind them though. I love catching these old cars in pictures.
This picture was in one of my grandmas photo albums and there's no name on it but she added it to the album for a reason so I kept it. It makes me laugh because the guy reminds me of old mobsters pictures.
Another of my grandmas pictures that I kept. Take a look at that car behind them though. No idea who they are. lol
I met these two people once and went out on their boat. They were my grandmas best friends. The picture is from July 1964. Again look at that old car in the background.
The little girl sitting up front is my late husband's mother, her parents and siblings. I guess they had nothing better to do than to make babies. lol
Another of my grandmas pictures. No idea who they are but written on the picture it says, "Me and my buddy". I'm guessing they're in the Army. Take a look at the stuff in the background. Looks like something out of an old movie.
More of grandmas pictures. Maybe someone with some history knowledge will know where this truck is from. Army?
More of grandmas pictures. I'm guessing someone on a ship in the Navy took this picture of another ship near them.
Looks like the person was on a ship and took this picture too. No idea but it's a neat picture.
I found this one in my grandmas album as well. I like it because of the cars. Again it reminds me of an old movie.
I hope you liked looking at some of the old photos I have.
Wow. What riches. We have virtually no old photos.
ReplyDeleteContact a war museum - they could identify the military vehicles. And all three great aunts died in a train accident? How sad.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous! I love old photographs.
ReplyDeleteAh, so much fun! I love looking at old photos and thinking about the lives of the people in them.
ReplyDeleteLooking at old black and white photos like these make you think back to what our grandparents and older went through in life. In all of these they look very happy. Tragic that three had to die at the same time in a terrible train wreck of some sort.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing these old photos, Mary. I find them interesting, most interesting.
ReplyDeleteThose are great old photos of times now long gone! I enjoyed looking at them!
ReplyDeleteI also have many old photos and I wish someone had written on the back who these people are. Landmarks are helpful and I’d be doing a deep dive on the Alaska Insurance Company from that last picture.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good collection, which is a very nice thing to have.
ReplyDeleteOver the years Hubby has inherited boxes of old photos and slides from various relatives. The vast majority of them were unidentified.
