Anne gave me this album many years ago. I had her identify as many as she knew. She also gave me ages as she remembered them. Some I figured out based on dates on the pictures. There are a lot of pictures and it will take me some time to scan them so check back for updates. I hadn't thought about this album until just the other day I was looking for a picture of the Hindenberg that I thought I remembered was in here. Now I have to look for a possible other album. As my mom always say write on your pictures. It gives you a base for ages and times. I am guilty of not doing that.

Lois 4, Edith (Mae) 6 and Anna 8

Summer of 1916

I love this picture of Aunt Anne. See how she is holding the apple even as an old lady she held her hand that very same way.

Anna w/ Her Mom and Sisters 1927

I love that they had lots of pictures taken. Great Grandma Laura with her girls. In this picture the girls are standing Edith (Mae), Lois and Anna.

Letter from Lois Apr 29 1935

Divorce Decree; Harvey and Laura Blackler

Unknown Family

Darcy can you identify this family?

Dora Bussard Kelchner

Laura is Great Grandma Nihart her mother died when she was young and she married at the age of 16. These are her brothers and sister.

Notes from Dan

Lois and Tom

My Dad about 10 or 11 years old.

Lois Marie Blackler O'Neil. I saw Grandma Lois about every 5 years. She stayed at our house at least once and I remember her long hair. She always wore it in a bun and I remember watching her brush it and put it up.

Anna 18 years and more

Recently Darcy, Daybreak and I were online posting pictures that we have. Darcy has many I have never seen. What a treat to make the connection with my cousins and share them.

Tom is my dad and Gary is Daybreak's dad.

With all the pictures that I have very few pictures of Grandma Lois. Lois is Tom and Gary's (biological) mother and my Grandmother and youngest sister to Anne.





Back row: Tom and Gary, Mary Gary's sister, his father Del & Aunt Anne.
Front row: Grandma and Grandpa Mitchelson and Laura Kelchner Nihart our Great Grandmother.

Edith Mae Mitchelson

Edith was Anne's 1st sister the 2nd of 3 sisters. She was born Jun 17 1908 in Colorado Springs Colorado. She was married to Delmar Mitchelson. She had two children Mary and Gary.

I am not sure when these were taken. I am thinking they might have been her senior pictures. And I suspect her mother, Laura, made the dress she is wearing. Laura was an accomplished seamstress.
