Wordless (Nearly) Wednesday
Smith Family Christmas 1938
[From left: Verle Thomas, LVene (Smith)Thomas, Pauline (Smith) Bower, Rita Ballard -
in back, Willard Smith, Merle Bower, Grant Ballard; in front of them: Betty Smith, Irene Smith
Bill Smith, in front row, holding baby (Gary Hilgenberg)
Four on right, Pete Smith, Eileen (Kinnick) Smith, Maxine (Smith) and Orrin Hilgenberg
I am posting this photo, which is also from LVene's 1991 Smith book, because it relates very well to the '75 Year Ago' post next Tuesday - although this photo is 1938, and the '75 Years Ago' reference is 1936 - it is virtually all the same people, and same time of year, in the same location (the Homeplace)! ;-)
Families are Forever! ;-)
