Dad's younger brother, Farrell (the only one still living), brought over some very old pictures of our great grand-parents. I had not seen these before and found them to be so interesting I thought some of our David relatives might like to see them. I know my niece Stefanie collects family history, and hope someday she will publish all her findings.
This photo is of my great grand-father, Daniel Webster David, and his wife, great grand-mother Mary Mellon David. They are seated in front with my grandfather on the left in front, James Albert David. On the right is the eldest, Nora, who married a Preston. In the back standing are Roy, Eva, Arthur, Frank, Lilian, and Vernon. Most of them lived into their 90's and Aunt Lilian was almost 103 when she passed away. She was the youngest of the eight children.
I am so glad someone took the time to write the names on the back of the photo. I have many in my collection who are unknown to me. They have been passed down through the family, but no one in the present generation knows who they are. Please, take the time to identify those in your photo albums so the next generation can know who their ancestors are. I need to do this myself, and it will be quite a task. I have lots of photos!
