Old Photos

 

I was going through some old photo albums and thought it would be fun to share some old pictures. This is my mom and her dad when she was a little kid at Christmas time.

My grandpa holding my mom when she was a baby. The little boy is my uncle Jack.

This is my grandpa and his mother, so my great grandma. 

This is my great grandparents. The same lady as the above picture. They were my maternal grandpa's parents. This man, my great grandpa, Lewis Casper Sherman was a Baptist Minister. His obituary is below.

I found my great grandfathers obituary in one of the photo albums. It says, 
Rev. Sherman, 69 Dies Following Sudden Illness. 

The Rev. Lewis Casper Sherman, 69 of Rush died at 4:45Pm of a sudden illness. 

The Rev. Mr Sherman, was born December 25th, 1896 in Morgan county, a son of Paris Sherman of Portsmouth o..and the late Julie Hamilton Sherman. He was a minister and a farmer and a member of the Enterprise Baptist church. 

And then it goes on to list his family. 

I thought it was very neat that even through I never met him, I have all of these pictures of him and his newspaper obituary that I'm sure my grandfather put in this photo album to remember his father. I inherited all of my moms photo albums when she passed away in 2011. 

This is my grandpa and his mother (Same lady from the other pictures). They are holding my mom when she was a baby. 

I love looking back at all the old black and white old pictures I have of family members. 

I've always been the keeper of the pictures in my family. I have a lot of old photo albums. Now pretty much everything is digital but I still get some pictures printed out so keep in the photo albums that my daughter gets to have when I'm gone. 

Do you have old photo albums?
