This is from the Finney side of the family, an album page made by a Finney cousin who does this for a business. The little vignette at the top is a couple I met a few times when they were much older. The oval at the top right is my grandmother and grandfather, their wedding photo.
Then on the right side is a photo of cousins I never met. Below that is a WWII photo of three generations. I am on my uncle Seth's knee. He was a handsome bomber and cargo plane pilot. Retired next to a golf course, soon felled by a stroke.
The photo I value the most is the big one of Finneys. The woman in the middle is Beulah Swan Finney Strachan. Her first baby was premature and died in a little over two weeks. The other, Mary, married very young and died in childbirth. One of the boys died an alcoholic. Families at a certain stage seem invulnerable. None are.
