Old Family Photos

I finally got around to scanning some of the old family photos. There are 90 plus in my flickr now, and loads more to get to some day, but I’ll only bore you with a handful.

***

My Great-Great Grandparents Addie and William Creveling. My Great Grandmother Della is the blonde girl in the front row sitting between her father and one of her brothers. The girl on the far left in the back is June’s mother (the lady we visited in Arizona is June) This would be early 1900’s.

***

June’s mother Ethel and her first child Harry circa 1910

***

Della and Joseph Moffet on their wedding day, My Great Grandparents.

***

June (the woman we went to visit in Arizona), My grandma Josephine Moffet and her sister Wanda (who was born dark skinned and had to take a blood test to prove she wasn’t black, how stupid is that?!?)

***

Great Grandpa Joseph Moffet in Ridgeway Missouri – 20’s or 30’s

***

Chester, Garland and Charlie Hensley – these are the children of one of the other Creveling girls from what we can figure.

***

Pat and Mike Creveling (Della’s younger brothers) and Harry Poush who is June’s older brother by her mom’s first husband.

***

Charley Hensley – from WW2, he was killed on the boat and both of his brothers would have been too, except they had just passed the Sullivan law and moved them of the same ship.

***

His brother Garland

***

This is my Grandpa Mutchler’s family: Vernie, Lucile, Crystal, Beaze, My grandpa Raymond (in the gangster hat with the cigarette), his dad Harry, his Mother Agnes (the babies are Pat and Mike but dunno which is which) Marie with the doll, Lee, Joyce and Dean.

***

William and Addie Creveling (incidentally this is the same Grandma who raised June after her mother died – at some point though she took off and went out west to stay with her father for a couple years and cam back finally with expensive clothes that she then never wore but kept in the closet)

***

Wanda (my Grandma’s sister) Della and my Grandma Josephine in 1942

***

Bobbi DeGerald and her kids Pinky and Tommy – she left her husband and came back to live with the family, but I’m not sure how she fits in. EDIT: I’ve since been told that her husband, Walter, died of pneumonia and that was when she came back. Thanks for the info!

June in the TB sanitarium

***

Wanda & Keith’s wedding (they have quite a tragic history – for some reason my family seems to have problems with being happy…)

***

My grandma Josephine again

***

“Aunt” Dick and Keith – Dick is Charley, Dorrel, Chester and Garland’s mom – she’s the one we think was a Creveling.

***

Olen Hensley, Wanda and Dorrel Hensley (I believe Olen is the father of all the Hensley boys but not 100% sure)

***

Fred (June’s husband) Jenny, Freeman, My grandma Josephine, my mom (in the green tanktop), Grandpa, June, Uncle Mike and Theresa when June came for a visit when my mom was a teenager.

***

No idea

And again no one seems to know who this is, though they keep passing the photograph down. It is currently hanging in my living room.

So there you have it. Some nice antique photos. Fun. Fun.
