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.

Uncle Ralph at Work in the Field

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.
