The story of this picture as told by Reba (RESSLER) 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, and lived 1937-2016. She was also my mom Pauline.
