Pictures With My Van Hoose Grandchildren

Grandma Boney's Visit

Arminda Pyles Boney was visiting her youngest son's family when this picture was taken {probably in 1936}. Vernon's three children are in this group setting with Joann, the youngest daughter of Arminda's oldest son, Irvin.

Lila Jean was the oldest of Vernon's children, her sister is Marie Eileen, and their baby brother is Irvin Wayne. He was named for Vernon's oldest brother, but was later called "Bud." Lila Jean was named for her mother's oldest sister, Lila Belle Mincks. Lila and her beau Handford Chandler, Hank, had been the witnesses at Vernon Boney and Ida Ellen Mincks' wedding on 4 November 1925.

First Step 13 Sep 2007

This is my first entry into the world of Blog's. Needless to say I do not know what I am doing but hopefully some good will come from my effort to learn. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I have taken the first step by myself and have gotten this far. I do hope some good will come from my effort to learn how to communicate in this manner. My hope is that it might become useful in sharing family history information concerning my family. 8:00 p.m., 13 Sep 2007. JVO
