School days

This is a photo of a school class around 1938 in Leon Kansas. The girl Betty, third from left, front row and boy Darrol, far end at right in the front row, next to his twin brother, Harold, were married in 1947 and are parents of my wife, born in 1949. The twins were born in 1927 and are to this day alive, active and well. Betty, her mother is also still alive, soon celebrating their sixtieth anniversary. They now reside in Wichita, Kansas.

Women Drilling

This photo was sent as a postcard to my grandmother. It's postmarked "Washington DC May 3, 1917 6pm." The postmark also says "TWENTY SEVENTH REUNION UNITED Confederate Veterans Washington, D.C. June 4-8-1917."

The correspondence on the post card reads: "I'll be home next week so hope to see you a week from Sunday. I've enjoyed the camp a lot. This is our Company drilling. With love, Helen P."

Women factory workers

Mrs. Ruth Van Fleet (named in the photo) lived with my grandmother until Van Fleet's death in 1943. The exact date of this image is unknown, but it looks like the women could be working in a munitions factory. So I'd guess it was probably the early '40s. View full size.
