1920's family photos Gillespie, Illinois
« on: Saturday 26 October 19 23:13 BST (UK) »
My mother was born in Arkansas in 1918 to a poor dirt farming family.  These are some childhood photos of her and her two closest in age siblings, Leroy and Esther.  There is also one with Mom and Leroy and a man I believe to be their father, my grandfather, Ray Garner with a gun and a hunting dog.

Whatever you can do to bring these photos to life is much appreciated.

Thank you,   Carol Ballard

Yes I am very pleased.  It took the color one to notice that my Mom had a fur collar on her coat!  Also, all those iterations of the man have convinced me that it is a rare photo of my grandfather who died before I was born in a coal mine collapse.

Thanks to all of you.   I posted two more but it looks like they didn't attach somehow.  So, I'll do them one at a time.  This one is my mom and two of her siblings on a horse probably in Illinois.

Cheers~   Carol Ballard
