Location: Mechanic's Grove, Lancaster County, PA in June 1923
(Thanks to Ron Schneider for sharing his memories and photos)
Ron has a large panoramic photo taken at this reunion. He has labeled everyone he is sure of, and the rest are "unknown". In order to fit the pic here, I had to break it into 3 parts. Please click on it to enlarge each section to read the labels. The photo starts with the top photo, then the center, then the last section.
Charles and Elizabeth (Musselman) Garner in the top section had 9 (known) children who survived to adulthood - they are all accounted for in the photo. According to the death certificate for Charles' brother Albert, he also lived in Lancaster County so I have to think some of the unknown in this photo are his family. Charles and Albert's parents and most of the family were in York County, where they moved from as young men.
I have to admit curiosity about the very young unnamed girl in the center section who is obviously pregnant. Does anybody out there have any ideas about the unnamed people in this photo??
In 1923 my grandfather, Ralph Garner, would have been 16 or 17 so maybe one of the teenage boys in this photo is him, but he isn't labeled.
This genealogy blog came about because I inherited so many photos and documents from both my grandma and mother. Rather than keeping them to myself, I would like to share with others who may be looking for these same people. Names of Lancaster County, PA families that may be found here include: Applebach, Findley, Garner, Groff, Mosser/Musser, Musselman, Newpher, Ressler, Stover, Wolfe, Yost
