I recently started going through old photos and came across a great pic of my great-grandparents thinking they were Bonnie and Clyde! I'm sure there are some wonderful photos out there of family being way cooler than us!

Such swagger.. Back then they really didn't even try to stand out it was just so natural.. The clothes people wore lent them selves to style. 20s and 30s especially,at least in my opinion how could you not feel all that and a bag of chips ,wearing clothing like they had

When they went in their first date he got her an elephant charm bracelet. He was also killed in a work explosion on a Saturday he normally didn't work. He went in for overtime an was going to work through lunch to leave early. It was their anniversary. My mom was 5 when he died. Nanny never remarried. His nickname was Red cause of his hair. Thought I'd add a bit more.

My grandmother with my dad, early 1954. My grandfather was in Korea at the time and didn’t get to meet my dad until he was 18 months old. She wanted to be a nurse but my grandfather wanted her to have a more traditional role at home, so she was kind of the midwife of the small town they lived in and helped deliver several babies. She also painted, sewed amazing clothes, and pretty much had a small working farm that she did all the work in while my grandfather was at work. I miss her stories. And her dumplings.

Sarah Ann's husband died of measles at the age of 40 in 1902. According to an old newspaper article, Sarah Ann said she and the children worked the farm and were able to add an additional room to their one-room home. Shortly after that construction was completed, a cyclone demolished the home completely. Sarah and two daughters suffered serious burn injuries as the wood stove was going at the time of the twister. The two other daughters were swept a mile into the field and were bloodied head to toe from getting entangled in some barbed wire. The folks in the community came together and built them a new home. This short description does not do justice to the hardships they endured and the strength they all had to have to get through those hard times. I often think to myself if Sarah Ann managed to take care of her family like she did, then I can deal with whatever life hands me. CORRECTION: The youngest was only 13 months old when Sarah's husband passed away.

I know my maternal and paternal grandfathers were on the same trip to Antarctica, when my parents were both pre ten. This wasn't how my parents met though, just a coincidence! I remember using grandads slides of antartica for a school project, how I wish I could see them again, or had any older photos of my grandparents! I do have a painting my gran did of grandad in antartica though, and my mum has amongst other things my other grandad special ice axe/pick/stepcutter thing. I just think it's amazing my grandparents met way before my folks met, seperately

Loved looking at everyone's photos. All of my grandparents were already dead by the time I was born. Makes me sad to think of all I missed. My husband had the opposite situation,, his parents bought a two family house so their mothers (both widowed) could live with them so he had his grandmas around his entire life. Some amazing pictures here, so much history, thanks for sharing.
