I knew this was Ben's second wife, I didn't know until I sorted through my parents records after they died what happened to his first wife. In the 1930's she died of appendicitis.
Any quiet ones in your family.

No, not really. I think your other uncles sound more interesting. Did they have a connection to the working girls next door?
ReplyDeleteAside from perhaps being customers.
ReplyDeleteNo one would talk about that
DeleteLoved this post! I am a sucker for stories like this. I think my dad's brother was the quiet one.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I have all but lost touch with many of my relatives. Traveling and time are merciless.
XOXO
My grandfather kept a pool table at the farm, and his brothers would come out from the city to play. I did get a chance to meet many of them.
Deletenope, both mother's and father's sides are both noisy.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so sweet (until riled.)
DeleteNot ONE frickin quiet uncle in my family... and few fun ones either.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I will ever be called the fun one.
DeleteOh yes, lots of quiet ones, loud ones and weirdos -- just like every family!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun mix
DeleteMy father was a quiet sweet man, naturally. When he drank (daily) he was a loud sweet man. My mother's sister is quiet. So was my maternal grandmother. I take after them (shut up!). Both sides otherwise are quite boisterous.
ReplyDeleteWe love it when you speak up
DeleteBoth parents had large families so everything from mild to wild.
ReplyDeleteI had one aunt, small family
DeleteI love old photos like this!
ReplyDeleteI do want to give them humorous titles though. Like Mikright
