Regina Mulcahy

This is Douglas and Mildred's daughter. She went to South Carolina with Janice this past year. She seemed to have a great time. There was nine of us and then we got to see Arlene and Laura. Vivian fell and her knee swelled so Janice took her to a doctor and that doctor put Vivian in the hospital because of irregular heart beat and kept her over night, we were all very concerned about her. Jo Ann and I had car trouble on the way up and I was just totally exhausted.

Regina's Other Grand Daughter

This is Erica Arrasmith, she is 6 years old. I know Regina is very proud of her grand daughters and I don't blame her. I know Douglas would be proud of his grandchildren if he was still here.

Regina's Grand Daughters

Breanna Hesler, stepdaughter, 7 years old, Brianna Bare 3 years old and Lacie Hesler 8 months old. Children of Jennifer, I have never seen them as I don't get to the reunions any more.

Grace Lorraine Strochansky

This is my High School graduation picture in 1945. I almost quit school, then I thought about Berlin in the war and wanting me to finish high school, he was sending me money each month and I just couldn't let him down. I was also working part time, making thirty cents an hour and then later I went to Montgomery Wards and made forty cents an hour. Sure sounds low doesn't it.

Unknown By Me

I am going to post this and if anyone knows who it is please leave a comment on the blog. I know Grandma and Grandpa had many children. This also could be a Dixon.

Roger W. Sumner and ???

Roger is with some one that I am not sure of. If anyone knows who this is please let me know. I was too young at that time and am not sure about some of the older photos.

Robin and William Mattingly

Robin also is enjoying her Son. She has such a nice web page on him since her was born. I sure wish I could do what they do on computers as far as being so neat and perfect on the life of their little boy. I won't even think of doing as well.

Scott and William Mattingly

I have finally figured out how to get the photos to where I can post them on the Blog. Scott is so proud of his son, I guess you can tell that though. Judy keeps me informed on how her grandchildren are doing. I am sure Judy and Bob are enjoying them. Lindsay is really getting to be a smart little girl.

William Mattingly and Cat

I am going to have to learn how to get the adobe photos in (My Pictures) so I can put them on the blog. Or learn how to do them without having to post them on (My Pictures). Anyone got any idea how I can do it?
This was taken at Christmas time 2006. He is the grandson of Robert and Judy.

Donald Morton

I have to laugh when I see this picture of Donald, he looks so serious. As I do this, memories are coming back. Once, Donald was teasing me about a guy that I liked and he just kept it up until I threw my shoe at him and it hit the glass door and broke it. I heard about it when Johnny and Ruby got home. Donald got a good laugh out of that. We forgot all about it in no time. Actually Donald is like a brother to me as he was only four years younger than I and I lived with them during my last years of highschool.

Jerome Morton

This is cute, that is just the way Jerry was most of the time, a big smile. They lived on 2nd Street in Covington right near the Ohio river and one year, can't remember what year, the Ohio started rising and Johnny and Ruby had to go out and buy a home so we could move away from that river. I do believe the water went all the way to the second floor. Osha and Gordon lived in the same building on the second floor and they had to go find a place to live. They went to Cincinnati.

Dorothy Mae Morton

I am not sure when Dorothy had this photo done, she sure looks nice. There must have been some special occasion for her. She used to take Jerry with her and watch him when they were playing games after school, he would run and call out(sissy, wait for me) Today John's son looks so much like Jerry when he was the same age.

Wallace Earl Sumner

This photo was taken on the road just in front of our house. We didn't take photos then like we do now. When Wallace was about that age, he went and stayed with the Tipton family, he was good friends with Jr. Tipton. They had a dairy and Wallace worked with them and then they took the milk in big milk cans to Winchester to be sold. Wallace was a big cutup, he kept his sense of humor and was lots of fun to be around, that is except when he would get a green snake and tease us with it.

Our House on Lower Cane Creek

I believe our Father was building our house, it was nice but the upstairs was never finished due to the depression. I remember that Papa would say, "we don't have much, but lets keep what we do have clean" Things were really hard then but I was happy just making my play house on the nice green moss, I remember that I couldn't wait to take my shoes off and feel that soft moss. I was always climbing, jumping etc. like me sitting on the banister in this photo, Doug is down in the yard, only a baby and that is Dorothy just starting to go in the door. I believe Johnny and Ruby moved to Covington about that time.

James Berlin Sumner

This picture was taken in London, Ky. He and Roger were there at the same time but Berlin didn't go to Texas, he came back home. I like his dog, he always took good care of his dog. Once he had the most beautiful hound dog and he was the best hunting dog. Berlin took such good care of him, later someone stole him because he was such a good hunting dog. I like this photo of him.

Osha Sumner Farmer

When I first looked at this photo I thought it was Ruby but as I looked a little closer, it was Osha. These are all photos that Molly sent me to put on the blog. She found them among Roger and Isabell's photos. I am only too happy to put them on the blog and I enjoy seeing them. Osha is now 89 years old and is doing very well, She has had parkinsons for a few years now.

Roger W. Sumner

When Roger was in London, Ky, Our Mother's sister, Louisia and her husband were visiting. Roger went and stayed in Texas and worked in their wheat fields. Osha told me today that it was from there that Roger went into the Army. I will always remember the dolls Roger sent me and Jennie for Christmas, they had on the most beautiful coats, hats and white shoes, Jennie and I were thrilled to get them.

Roger W. Sumner

I am not sure how old Roger was here. That is how I remember him the most as being very thin, I know he worked hard to get a good education. He visited our Mother's brothers in London, Ky. He graduated from Stanton, KY highschool. As I remember, he went into the Army not long after that and retired from years in Service.

Mattie Dixon Sumner

This is my Mother when she was so beautiful before she got so sick with T.B. I am sure she suffered for years before she died. I was only about two and a half when she died. I can't remember anything about her but in my minds eye, I remember being upset and I can see the house where we lived and a coffin being taken to the cemetery just across from our house.

Roger,Berlin, Jennie,Osha, Ruby and Vivian

Molly sent me this photo and it really is good, If anyone knows when it was made, please let me know, I figured it was in the late 50's or 60's. I just was not able to go home any at that time. I will be putting more photos on the blog that Molly is sending me.
