Surnames/tags: Bledsoe Reed Weir
Martha Weir, had a number of old "reunion" photos so I called them Weir Reunion photos, but they should probably more accurately be called Bledsoe Reunions. She could only provide a few names for the individuals in these photos though. I hope more can be identified in the future. Can you identify anyone?
This reunion possibly occurred in 1914 if the child Minnie Weir is holding is actually Eleanor Weir.
- Identified by Martha Weir: David Hugh Bledsoe & Mary Stark Bledsoe; Dick T Weir & Minnie Bledsoe Weir (possibly holding Eleanor b. Dec 1913); Oliver Starkey & Ida Mae Bledsoe Starkey; Loren Reed; Mary Weir; Mary Reed Petty;
- Identified by JADS, a Richards descendant: Uriah Mahan; Edith Jane Bledsoe Reed; Bonnie Bell Reed, perhaps?

I think this photo was taken about 1917. I wonder if the giant flag was there because this was during WWI war time? Minnie Weir is holding a small baby who could be Martha Weir, born in July of 1916.

"Family Reunion 2" |
This image appears to be a wedding, perhaps; there is no obvious bride and groom but there are a lot of corsages being worn! I am guessing it was around 1921 as Paul Weir was was born in 1918 and he looks about 3 years old here. The following people have been identified in the photo so far:
