For my December blog I have decided to do something a little
different. I’m sharing photos of Christmas heirlooms and my ancestors during
the season. Enjoy!
 |
| A postcard from 1908 sent to my Great-Grandma Mildred S. Bishop-Hunter, from her Aunt Hattie Brewer. |
 |
Taken in the late 1920's my G-G-G-Grandparents John J. and Eliza E. (Wilson) Bishop in their Greenwood, Ind home. (Oh, how I wish I had that spinning wheel!)
|
 |
From the Elwood Call-Leader, my Great-Grandma Mary Melissia Webb-Eurick-Smith's letter to Santa Claus.
|
 |
Christmas ornaments that my maternal Grandma Bernice Hunter-Smith put on her tree as a teen in the 1950's. They now go on my tree!
|
 |
A poem that was written and published by my step-Great-Grandma Georgia A. Fowler-Ellis in 1971.
|
 |
One of my favorites! My Great-Grandma Mildred Hunter's "Shiny Brite" tree. She had this for years and years
|
 |
Here is a gem from the past. These are the children of John and Eliza Bishop. The sons are Jacob (my G-G-Grandpa), Fred and Frank. The daughters are Mable, Carrie and Flora. We believe it was taken in Christmas 1894.
|
 |
My Great-Grandma Anna Marie Hahn-Gwinn-Cornwell, with Santa in the late 1980's.
|
 |
A copy of the Christmas postcard my G-G-Grandma Jessie Brewer-Bishop sent out to family and friends in 1906. These are the two children she had at the time Mildred (my G-Grandma) and Clarence.
|
 |
This is a poem that my cousin Amelia Nicole Williams and I wrote, it is not yet an heirloom but it will be some day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
