More Photographs from the Collection of Bob Adema

Saying Good Bye at the Wright's home in Damascus, Virginia

The photo above was taken in 1959.  Pearl Osborne and Uncle Dave Wright are present. Can the rest be identified? I will try: far right is my Great Aunt Pearl. Moving right to the left is Gladys and Howard Adema, right? Then Doris Akers but who is the young woman behind her? Then my Great Uncle Dave and moving far left is Elmer (Flea) Akers? How close did I come?

Note: Phyllis wrote and believes man between Doris and Gladys is a brother of Dave, named Lawrence. Is the woman behind Doris and Uncle Dave a wife or daughter of 'Lawrence'? Sept. 2, 2010

The Sons of Leroy Osborne - 1910s?

The second child born to live to maturity of G.W. and Frankie Wilson Osborne was Leroy Milburn Osborne (2/17/1879 - ?). He lived in Cleveland, Tennessee in 1936 and was married to Lena Holsclaw (9/17/1879 - ?). They had three boys, seen below: Ralph Summers, Albert Leslie and Robert Lafayette Osborne. A girl was named Lucille Osborne. I do not know who is whom below. These are first cousins of my mother, Geraldine Stansbery Holliman Feick. I believe Leroy was a farmer, although his address was 1016 16th Street, Cleveland, TN.

Two brothers married Holtsclaws. Toby married Alta Holsclaw (perhaps spelled Holtzclaw or Holtsclaw). I believe they may have married these girls when the family lived in Ashe Co., NC or shortly thereafter. More research needed, but I assume they were sisters. I love the knickers on the two young cousins.
