Rehm Family Pictures

I received a few pictures from my Cousin Marilyn.




The three Rehm boys are Albert Joseph, Jr., John Henry, and Roderick Walter (not necessarily in that order in the picture).

The people I know, in addition to the boys are, in the far back row from left to right is an unidentified man, my mom Salome Wilson Pearson, John Pearson, Jean Hurt Thomas, and Barney "Goog" Thomas. In front of them is Albert Jr., Zilpha Wilson Hurt, and unidentified lady, Gin Platzer (I think), and Bertha Kitchel Wilson. In front, kneeling, an Unidentified lady, Roderick "Roddy" Walter, John Henry Rehm, and Hazel Hurt Rehm.

I am not sure about Aunt Gin.I really only knew her when I was young, 9 or 10 at the oldest. 



I am really at a loss about this picture. I know only five of the seventeen people. In the front row is my mother, Salome, her father Roderick, her sister, Zilpha, and her mother Bertha.



This is my mother around nine or ten. This picture looks less like her than any I have seen.



Mom in her late teens? Jean with her?



Here is a picture I had of Hazel and Mom.




Here is a close up cut out of the picture above.




Here is Mom at Aunt Jean's house with a cousin, Bea Kitchel, from Fayetteville, Arkansas, I think.



Next to the last is Mom at the Alvin Nursing Home with visitors Hazel, I think maybe Minneford, and Bea.



Last is a picture that I am without any knowledge. It is a very nice picture though. I am pretty sure that Hazel is the girl that is third from from the right.

If anyone provide names for the unknown people, or correct my identifications, please email me at lylifespics(at)yahoo.com.
