One Great Granny and the Past

told me this~

 I only had one

 great grandmother

 too. I don't know how

 old she was but she looked

 pretty ancient to me and

 wrinkled...lol

I only knew the one great

granny. She seemed to have

never changed in the yrs that I knew her. 

This is Great Granny, me,

and my two brothers. I was

about 12 in the above pic.

That is great granny to the left

in the pic below. Her son,

Uncle William and 

one of her sisters,

Augusta.

Left to right is great granny's

sister Etta, Augusta and

great granny.

The pic below was taken

long before I as born.

It is great granny and her

sons.

Left to right, not sure which

son that is. However, the one

in the back, dark hair with the 

window about his head is my

granddaddy, Horace. Horace was

mom's dad. The man standing in

front of great granny is 

Uncle William, the one

in the pic shown before.

And there again, the one of the 

end I am not sure about.

One would be my great uncle

Tom and the other

would be Paul. 

I knew all but Paul

He left home at an early

age to work and through

that time they only got

one postcard from him and 

then that was it. 

Great Granny's 

resting place.

This is great granny's mom, my

great, great granny.

My great granny lost her hubs 

in his 30's. He died from 

his Appendicitis.

The poison moved through

his body, killing him.

Great granny raised the four 

boys with the help of

her two sisters, Great granny's

two sisters  

never married, and she

never remarried. 

I was very lucky to have

known my great granny on

moms side as well as her

sisters. 

How far can you go back

knowing family members?
