Some precious pictures

I have been in touch with a distant cousin, which caused me to look through my Grandma's little train case that I was given after she passed away. It contains pictures and cards that Grandma lovingly kept.

Today I found a couple that I wanted to put here. The first one is my great grandparents' farmhouse in North Bend, Ohio, right before it was torn down. They bought the land in 1900 and the last ownership by our family was in 1988. I don't remember the house as much as the fact that it had an iron fence outside with lilacs planted by it.

Every time I smell lilacs, I think of my Grandma Lucy Ann Baker Stoneking. I go by the farm every summer when I go home.



The second photo is one of my Grandma Elsie Hacker Stoneking, holding Tiffany in December of 1984. Bethany, my little tomboy is wearing her brother, Nathan's T-ball hat (Lions).
