The Bradfords and Dad

Pg189 (Small)

I believe this is a photo of the Bradford family.  I think that is Papa Jack on the left and I believe that is Lucy Mae next to him.  I am fairly sure that is Grandma Bradford, Robert and Dad.

Pg183 (Small) Mom, Aunt Maggie and Grandma Bradford at the Gardens.

Dad and Uncle Robert

Dad and Uncle Robert and then since someone didn’t wind the film all the way using one of the old cameras, we have another picture of Uncle Robert on the bottom.

img001 (Small) I am guessing that these photos were taken at Ft. Sam Houston.

Bradford Inn

Pg180 (Small) Margaret and I found this in one of Mom’s old photo albums.  Neither of us recall hearing of the Bradford’s BanDan Inn.

Margaret and Bill’s Great Grandparents

img877 I had posted this picture before but we weren’t sure who was in the photo.  Since then, Margaret found some more photo albums and this was in them.

Great Grandparents (Small) On the back of this photo:  Mr. and Mrs. E.M. White.  Mr. White 87 yrs.  Mrs. White 84 yrs. Taken June 28, 46.

This was the first time that Margaret and I had seen what our Great Grandfather looked like.  Both of us can remember going to see Great Grandmother White several times when we were growing up.

Grandma Bradford and……

Pg178 (Small) This a photo that Margaret found yesterday in some of Mom’s things.  It certainly looks like Grandma Bradford but we have no idea who the Gentleman is or where or when the photo was taken.  Does anyone know anything about this picture?

Beene Family (Early years)

Pg176 (Small)

Back row: Elaine, Francis, Grandpa Beene, Grandma Beene, Jimmie.  Middle row: Irene, Sonny, Chubby, Novell.  Front row: Vera Mae, Buddy, Peggy.

Aunt Maude, Uncle Tom, Grandpa Beene and Grandma Beene.

I have no idea where or when either of these pictures were taken.

Grandma Beene’s Family

Pg174 (Small)

Pg175 (Small)

This is a picture that Margaret found today in some of Mom’s stuff.  This is what was written on the back of the photo so I hope it is correct.  It seems strange looking at this photo, relatives that I don’t recall ever seeing except for Grandma Beene.  Thankfully with today’s modern medicine, children are able to know their Great Grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles.

Looking back I also find it odd that I don’t remember any of Grandma or Grandpa’s Brothers and Sisters.  I am sure that my Aunts and Uncles remember them but I wonder how many of my cousins remember them.  It seems strange to me because the Beene family was always getting together especially at Christmas, so why weren’t they there at least some of the time?  Just my thought or maybe just my bad memory.
