Tombstone Tuesday - William Aster SCHWYHART

SCHWYHART is my "favorite" ancestor names - I posted on it earlier... this is the first of several I will post in this Tombstone Tuesday series.



William Aster SCHWYHART was born 2 Oct 1899 in Baxter, Stone Co, Missouri, the son (5th of 7 children) of George Mitchell and Margaret Elizabeth (YOCUM) SCHWYHART. He married Josie Bell YOKUM 9 Jul 1927 in Berryville, Carroll Co, Arkansas. They had one son, Kendall Ray SCHWYHART (b. 15 Mar 1943; d. 21 Mar 1987).

A side note: I took this photo more than 10 years ago, when I lived 300 miles away... I now live about 10 miles away, in the neighboring county. Small world, again!

Wordless Wednesday - Hollister, MO - late fall

The fall of the year takes on many shapes, and has many representations in our thoughts of life and our place in our own ancestry stream. With this in mind, I offer this photo, without further comment.
