Unknowns Part 15 (Updated!)

This is another picture from the album of my grandmother, Rhodees Lane. The woman on the right looks similar to Lois McKay. I am not sure who they are and would love it someone could tell me who they are.

(Update - 30 Jul 2012. My cousin, Barbara, told me that this is her mother, Connie Person Lane, on the right, and her aunt, Frances Mushlitt who is on the left. This was possibly taken on Connie's wedding day.)

Historian

My husband tends to make fun of my Lane family reunions. They are as organized as a Baptist Church business meeting! We have officers and a small business meeting at each reunion. This year after the reunion my cousin opened a Pandora's box for me. He gave me the two family scrapbooks and asked me to update them! There are pictures of my great-grandparents and most of their children and respective spouses. Included are some history of the family, pictures of reunions past, and updates on family members. So I am preparing to update these and I hope I can do a good job. I might post pictures of some of my progress.

Unknown Part 14

This is a picture that was taken in the yard at James Wesley Orr's house in Jonesville, VA. It was taken at the same time as a picture of James I have. I am not sure when they were taken. It does seem like the man in the middle is my great-grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Orr, though I am not sure. I am not sure who the children are. If you can help me identify them I would be thrilled!

The Orr's Jonesville House

This is a picture that I took several years ago when I traveled to Jonesville, Virginia. This is the area where my Orr family lived for many years. The house is one that my great-great-grandfather, James Wesley Orr, built after the Civil War. The family sold the house in the early 1940's. As far as I know it is still standing.

Mysterious Jenkins Family

My great-grandmother, Martha Jane (Jenkins) Bivens creates a huge brick wall for our family. As far as I have heard from most relatives no one knows anything about who her parents were or pretty much anything about the family. I would LOVE any help in learning more about her family! Here is the link to my earlier post about Martha and her husband, Phillip Marion Bivens, and their children (link).

The Jennings

This is Marian French Jennings and her husband. The back of the picture stated it was at their house Christmas of 1947. Marian was the daughter of William and Emilie (Ott) French. She was one of thirteen children (that I know of).

Loss Of A Loved One

Today my uncle Allen went home.
Please pray for my family during our time of loss.
