  • Various Aunts and Uncles

    My Father's Brethren




    Enola Henderson and Elmer Henderson. Aunt Enola lived in Tacoma, Washington, and continued to cook with a wood burning stove until well into the 1950s. She also made elderberry wine, which I was never allowed to sample, but she shared none of the other characteristics of the lead characters of the play "Arsenic and Old Lace".



    Carl and Ella (Henderson) Larsen, who settled in Salem, Oregon.



    Otto Henderson at about age 88, when they put him in a home. This is a copy of a Xerox of a newspaper photo, which is why the quality is so bad. Otto spent a good part of his life taking pictures on a camera that used 8x10 glass plates for the negatives. Here he is seen examining a modern camera, although he is too far gone to really understand what it is all about.

  • I enjoyed looking at all your family pictures. None of them were too wide for my screen.

    It appears that your pictures are not any better organized than mine are. It is one of my goals for this year to try to organize them, but so far I have made no progress. I am in the same position you are in - I do not know when many of them were taken. I need to put them in albums and label them or when my kids inherit them, they will not know who anyone is!

  • It's great to see all these old pictures.

  • The neckline on that costume looks to be hell to wear.  She has a lot of fabric on and such tiny feet.
