A family shot from back in the day at a family gathering in Gipsy, PA (population 235 in 2000 - and I thought Menominee was small, though it's down a couple thousand, if memory serves, from when I was there). Photo courtesy of Bill Smith, via cousin, photographer Ed Watkins. I seem to remember one of my cousins telling me the Gipsy house had burned down.
Parents in the third row right in front of the tree (photo must be pre-1954 since none of us siblings is in evidence). I seem to recognize Aunt Audrey in the first row, far right, and one of Toot's daughters fourth one in from right in front of the lady with the big hat. Maw maw & Pupup 2nd row three in from right. I think that's Aunt Helen third row 2nd in from left.
If memory serves, there was no electricity in the house nor an indoor toilet. Can it be Gipsy was only 10 miles from Cherry Tree? Seemed to much farther. Ah, memory.
