<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheOLdGuy, post: 109028, member: 878&quot;]Pat, thank you very much for that insight. I was almost going to post a new note commenting on my aunt&#039;s face. Very sad, and hair rather rumpled. Now that also makes more sense with my grandmother&#039;s facial setting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do believe you called it correctly and I shall be forced to admit that the black clothing was, in my memory, normal. Note my mother with her father in a sport coat. My uncle Leo is absent, but I believe he was flitting all over the globe most of the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>We did have a decent size family, but I met only a few other relatives during the monthly bridge games, at our house maybe every other month or so. </p><p>I also double checked the family bible death list. Nothing between 1884 and 1934, but my aunt was in charge of that and probably kept it to just <u>immediate</u> family. </p><p><br /></p><p>You also made me look. Aunt Ora (in the pic) was married in 1912 but NO mention of what happened to a temporary uncle. She also married in 1916 with an addendum stating, &quot;ABOVE MARRIAGE BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.&quot; So I&#039;m smiling, guessing what happened with poor uncle Bill. The real <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /> marriage to Uncle Albert from England was in 1916 and he&#039;s not in that picture. Narrows down the timing for what may well have been a funeral. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I have absolutely no one who can help fill in blanks. My mother had two brothers and one sister. Brother number 1 passed away at six months old, and my mother is the only one who contributed offspring. I have no maternal cousins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
