Orphans from the Storm
This photo was taken in 1905 when my mother, pictured, was 2-years-old. She is with her brother Bruce.

Home Aways

Mom lived with several relatives between the time she graduated from school and the time she got married. She lived with Aunt Loretta. She was married to Charles H. Wilson. Like most mothers of her time she lost one child, Charles Bruce. She had four other sons. Harold F., Donald J., William K., and Charles H.

I visited Aunt Loretta in Houston with my parents several times. Below is my mother at Aunt Loretta's house.



Mom with Don, one of Aunt Loretta's boys.



Another picture of Mom and Dad while "courting". Should have been in one of the posts below.



Mom and Dad took care of mother's parents. I think this is mom and dad's house in Almeda, Texas. This is the picture as taken and below is a "close up".



Mr. DeMille, I am ready...



Below is a picture of Mom's older sister Zilpha Wilson Hurt. With Zilpha are her daughters Jean and Hazel. Jean married Barney Thomas and had two son's, Gary and Thomas(Tommy). Hazel married Albert Rehm and had five children, Albert, John, Roddy, and twin girls Marilyn and Geraldine. Shown are the three boys. Marilyn and Geraldine were born after this picture.



Another close up.
