Girls, your great grandfather was one of 17 kids (right mom?). He was such a wonderful man. I wish you could have known him. I have many fond memories of him. Mostly at his cabin in PA. He was so fun. Always ready to take us out on the boat, set off fireworks for us, set up this water fountain he had for us or sleep on the screened in porch on a cot with us. Here is a great picture of him with his brothers and sisters and parents (I think). He is the handsome man on the bottom row second from the right.
Yes, Pap was one of 17 brothers and sisters. And yes, his parents are in the center of the picture. I am so glad that you were able to post this for the girls, Melissa. Amazing, isn't it? They lived in this little house and always had overnight company and most of them sat at the same dinner table in the evening!
