Shared Photo: Stover family

Question

the baby in the picture is my great grandmother Elizabeth Stover, her parents are Joseph Blunt Stover and Lena Mai (Carter) Stover. Siblings are Katie, Leona, Ruby. There were a set of twins boys (Herbertnand Hubert) after this, another son Joseph, and one daughter Allie who died at age 2 (she was actually born before Elizabeth).

I wanted to share this family photo of Joseph Stover with the community. Location: unknown. Date: unknown.

And actually I think that may be Allie in the picture instead of my ggm Elizabeth. The ages/dates add up better.

Thanks Susan! I think I did get to meet Aunt Leona, but I was very little and don't really remember it. Aunt Ruby died 3 years before I was born, and Aunt Katie died the year after I was born. Aunt Allie died at age 2 so obviously never met her. Of the ones not pictured, Uncle Hubert (one of the twins) died 4 years before I was born. I don't know what ever happened to Uncle Joe and the family never talked about him. My grandma Elizabeth died when I was 10, and i was very close to her.  She was a great woman.  And the other twin Uncle Herbert, he died a few years after she did.  I knew him as well. I was scared of him as a kid, LOL...he would always come in yelling and talking loud and I guess he just scared me.

You are velcome, how wonderful you got to meet some of them, I think it is wonderful when you remember some of them, hi hi maybe not uncle Herbert that scared you. What a unkind think to do,

It was sad you lost your grandmother so young.

Nice you have memories about some of them
