FRANK RESSLER FAMILY 1937

THE FRANK RESSLER FAMILY - 1937:

The story of this picture as told by Reba Garner was that in the early stage of her pregnancy with her first child, the doctor told her that due to a hernia (or hernia repair), she would not live thru the pregnancy. Her parents wanted a picture of all their children together as a family group, so this photo was taken before Reba started to show.  Standing in the back (l to r): Anna, Andy, Clarence, Victor, and Mary.  Seated in the front (l to r): Martha "Marty", Frank, Charles, Reba, Bertha "Bert", and Emma.

I remember this photo as hanging upstairs in the bedroom by the door.  Grandma and I talked about it many times.

By the way, the baby girl was born healthy in July 1937 and is still living.
