100 years of weddings -1923 to 2023

 

some of you may remember that in the prior post on sept 22,  I mentioned there was a tri-framed photo in Augusta GA of my grandparents, my parents and my first marriage.

I am thankful today to say, I now have it in my home, thanks to my brother David and his Wife Janice.

It arrived in the mail along with many photos from my childhood yesterday. He found them all in a hat box and a huge old hat box, in his closet and had no idea he had all those photos. When my dad was moved into health care facility down here, he sold Daddys home in Augusta and all contents and put a couple of boxes in his closet, never to look at again.

He was thankful I asked because he spent hours looking through the contents that had been there since Early 2005. They did not remember these framed photos.

I am taking photos of the photos and a few of them MIGHT appear here. I have several of myself and my family in the early 1950's. I thought they were lost.

My mother in 1930, age five. The note says her doll is buried in Gonnie's yard, Gonnie is what I called my grandmother. No idea why it is buried there or anywhere. Wish I knew the story.

Everyone in thee photos is now deceased and has been for many years except the bride in the silly hoop skirt.
