Throwback Thursday c.1922

My mother Marian in the knickers
Her brother Robert in cap to her right with their mother Charlotte behind him and brother John between in the back row and their father Judd to her left, just behind her and my Great Grandfather second from left

Uncle Edgar and Aunt Edna on the far right

At the Fair c.1940

Found in my paternal grandmother’s photo album

I think the boy is my father’s brother Harold (Butch) b.1928

Because the woman’s face is in the shadow of the hat brim, I’m not sure if that’s my grandmother

Here’s a photo of young Uncle Harold at my parents wedding August 28, 1939. He was seventeen years younger than my dad. Uncle Alan is on the right.

My Father’s Paternal Grandmother

Ancestors’ Picnic Throwback Thursday

Picnic Durand Illinois
My maternal grandmother Charlotte on the far right My mother Marian w glasses third from right My Great Aunt Edna head turned looking at the camera My mothers brother Robert in the straw hat with dark band. And I think that is my mother’s brother John in the striped tie on the left.

Swimming Attire c.1924

My grandfather Judd DeWitt VanSickle in the middle hugging his youngest son, my Uncle Robert. My grandmother Charlotte is sporting the sash, I believe. I calculate the date as Uncle Robert was born in 1914 and to me he looks about ten in this photo. Durand, Illinois or perhaps on vacation in the Wisconsin Dells.

From my grandmothers’s album

Looks like the women are wearing leather shoes.
