Relatives,Sometime in the 1940s

My first cousins Paul in front and John B Van Sickle with their mother Mary Kathryn Babcock Van Sickle (1905-2005) in the middle
on the left is her Aunt Mina Marida Reynolds(no dates found) and
Mary Lillian Reynolds Babcock (1869-1965) is on the right so my cousins’ maternal Grandmother and Aunt Mina’s sister

(My Aunt Kathryn was married to my mother Marian’s brother John Rowley Van Sickle)

I texted my cousin Andrew to ask permission to post and he sent to me to his Uncle John B who has the original photo. Two memories cousin John has is that “Auntie lived with them and breathed her last at Christmas.” “I remember a ride from Freeport to Durand with her last surviving hen with us in the back seat.”A

nd Grandma lived “long snd lordly in North Rockford convalescent hospital for 12 years with her Bible disbound through leafing”
