Good night Dale and Fran...Lynn too though I think she left for bed long ago. Thinking of you Race, be well as you can be.
Good morning lurkers 
I doubt they will Dale, but that's ok I do it for DH. He loves all that history and the only way he can have it all is if I copy it. Everyone will want some of the pics, none will want all, all would complain someone else got too much. This is the easiest way.
Yesterday was old pics and news clippings, the last half old obituaries and the little thing they hand out at the funeral. All copied and posted. 
Today is scanning things I won't post but that have significance beyond the other things...doctor's report on the death of his gma in 1948 (in hind sight, the same cancer that took his mom a few weeks ago), old deeds, wills, military records and such. Much to learn and save away for future generations. For years we asked questions that nobody answered. Once his dad came in and mom was telling us her grandma's name, he actually growled when he heard. She stopped talking at once! (her gma was born out of wedlock) My mom's family is in printed books that can be purchased on both sides and go back for 16 and 20 generations. My dad wanted mom to follow his, until he found out there was some ugly history. Then he was done with it. No more research. 
DH and I have followed both sides of his family and my father's back a long way. We enjoy the new discoveries even when they aren't things people expected to find.

Don't have a whole lot of family history here but what little I do have is on my mother's father's family ... none of it good
At least we know why we are/were the way we are It's grocery shopping day
I ticked off dad's sisters a few years ago. The "story" was great grandpa changed his name from Ouston to Johnson after coming to America. Johnson being the name of his employer... Grandma's maiden name was Harriet DeEtta Johnson... as it happened so was her grandma's before she married... her son born out of wedlock was a Johnson, her husband was Ouston... who married 2 more women with children born out of wedlock... after each previous wife died mysteriously after giving him a child or 2, each time keeping the children born to him and sending the child she came with packing... not the story they wanted to hear.
Sometimes, the truth only hurts if you let it!

I did too. I thought it was cool to find the information (including his descendants questioning if they were all natural deaths or...) on line.
I just found the earliest pre-nuptual agreement I have ever seen, between his grandfather and his 2nd wife. 1951! Both had land and farms and obviously felt they wanted their own children to inherit them.
All sort of interesting discoveries. His grandmother's medical file basically tells me that she died of the same thing her daughter-in-law (DH's mom) just died from. Also paper's that make it appear mom's sister-in-law may well have died of the same thing. The diagnosis and bills are interesting in hind-sight.

Bet those old bills were interesting
I think it was my brother's birth that cost mom & dad $25 dollars ... course dad was in the Navy at the time I have a chipmunk!!!!
He's sooooo cute, running around on our deck!
It's a lot creepy! None of them lived very darn long.I love chipmunks and squirrels, sat on mom's front porch and watched them a lot the last few weeks.
Our boys were almost free. Army we paid for my meals, so less than $10.00
Who knew that was the cheap part!
