Join
the fun! I recognize my Great Grandparents Lewis Penny Doty and Emily (Wight)
Taylor along with my grandfather’s siblings Mable, Florence and Harry.
This
had to be a family reunion. It looks like somebody’s backyard. I wish I could
make out what was on the kitchen table. Can you see the parents off to the
left? I don’t know the names of the children but Aunt Florence is the adult
supervision in the center of the 2nd row. (Aunt Florence was
Florence Adelia Doty, daughter of Lewis Penny and Emily Wight Taylor Doty.)
Yeah!
I know them. Beginning on the left is Aunt Florence Doty Gardner, Aunt Mable
Taylor Doty Regan, Uncle Harry Taylor Doty and their parents Lewis Penny and
Emily Wight Taylor Doty.
Okay, I can only name a few this time. The white
haired lady in the middle row is Grandmother Emily Wight Taylor Doty with
husband Lewis Penny right beside her. If you look very carefully you can barely
see Aunt Mabel behind Grandmother. Behind Aunt Mabel might be her husband Frank
Regan. All the way over to the right (in the middle row) is Aunt Florence.
Boy,
they were really having a good time here! At least you get a better look at
Aunt Mabel (2nd row just about the middle joining in on the beer
toast) and Uncle Frank (3rd row slightly to her left) in this
snapshot.
Goodness,
is Grandmother hiding a beer bottle behind her back? I don’t know who her
fellow beer drinker is on the right.
It’s
too bad my grandfather, Frank Leroy Doty, missed the festivities. The picnic
might have taken place in Orange County, New York or Tioga County, New York.
Grandmother, Grandfather, Aunt Florence and Uncle Harry were all Orange County
dwellers while Aunt Mabel and Uncle Frank lived in Tioga County.
If
any of my relatives know who’s who, please leave a comment below.
