Group Photo from a 1950's reunion
Nelson Gwinn provides the
following identifications of people in this photo. If you can provide any more
identifications, please email us with your
ideas!
I will do my best to
identify some of the people on the big picture but afraid can't be a big help to you. I do
not recognize any of the small children in front.
Starting from the left (but not necessarily by rows) -Shielda Ballantyne (Aunt
Mona's daughter)-- Aunt Lou- Russell's wife,---Aunt Adeline--Uncle Laban's wife,
skip a couple and there is Uncle Asa (Aunt Elsie's husband, Uncle Russ, My Mom (
Mary) and dad (Carl), behind Mom is Uncle Laban --On the
other side of the table is Grandma Gwinn, Aunt Lena ?, Aunt Ella, Woodrow Walters (
Leila's husband) Aunt Mona and Jack Frost, Way back is Nell, below her in the second row
are Nell's twins Patricia and Delores and on the end is Elsie, Leila and your grandmother
Minnie. I could probably guess at a few more but just am not sure about them.
As to the date of the picture, Woodrow and Grandma Gwinn died in 1962 so it had to be some
time before that, probably in the later 50's. Ethel and I and family were not there.
Elaine (Harford) Yanak has
additional information to offer:
I know a few of the
children in the front row to the left of the table. Cathy Harford (Delvin's and Leta Mae's
oldest daughter) is holding a plate of something. Continuing to the left, next, I
don't know who the blond is, next is Patty and then Martha Gwinn (Jim and Mary's
daughters) and right beside Martha, the dark haired boy is Lewis Harford (Delvin's and
Leta Mae's only son). I'm not sure who the three other smaller kids are for sure.
I was born in 1954 so I guess it could be me in the little sun suit (Elaine
Harford) but I'm not sure of that and it could be my sister Martha Harford next in the
dress but I'm not sure of that either. I don't know who the last little boy is.
I thought it might be Dad (Delvin Harford) right behind Lewis, but I'm not sure of
that either.
