Rollins family blog

Check out the Rollins blog site here . It's a great site for photos and history- much of which we have access to all ready, but the photos are wonderful!

Isn't the internet is great?! Kathy

H. Marcene Hamblin

C Youngberg and H. Marcene Hamblin during WWI.


Marcene is second from the left on the back row. The backdrop seems to be the same one in the next photo of the Lyman High School Basketball Team (check out the water marks) - so a high school shot of friends maybe? I believe Mrytle Bradshaw is the girl on the far right. She went on to marry Frank Twitchell. The two kids on the far left look like they could be brother and sister.



Basketball Team 1915-1916 Back Row: ?, ?, Frank Twitchell, Marcene Hamblin.

About this basketball team - we're a little confused because documents show the school district didn't officially split until 1922, but I wonder if there's a gap in documents of some kind. Maybe which ever town fielded the high school put their initial on the team. The high school was at Lyman during this time if I understand it right. We need to clarify that a little.




Bottom three photos: Henry Marcene and a friend seem to be taking photos on a date. I wonder if he is a Bradshaw?

How many kids carry a guitar or a uke' on a date now days?? The girl doesn't look like Grandma... Wonder who she was. We'll keep looking for names - maybe talk to Aunt Geri.

Please leave a comment if you know any of these other folks. They must be Rollins, Blackners, Bradshaws, Eyres, etc. - all kids (And probably cousins) who grew up in the Bridger Valley. Some look vaguely familiar and Kathy is sure it's because we've taught some of their great-great-grandchildren with similar facial features.

Lois

I think Mom is standing in the driveway at her folks' house. Probably late 40's or early 50's - before any of us came along.

Great-Great Grandma Crane


This is Elizabeth Stewart Crane, Grandma Huggins' grandmother. The caption at the bottom of the photo says, "She called one pillow case a poke". The handwriting is Grandma Maude Huggins'. Alice would be her sister.

Dad's folks

Grandpa and Grandma Hamblin
Is it taken in the '50's? Where are they? Is it on a Sunday? If anyone remembers, please leave a comment.

What a difference 10 years makes.


Captions on back: Top Photo: "We think very choice. Taken at Lyman - Spring 1960"
Bottom photo:"Just moved into trailer, 1971...."
I omitted the names to protect the innocent:)

59 years later...

At the Portland Temple in March 2007.
Now we have pictures from the beginning of their marriage and towards the end - tied to the Temple and its sealing ordinances.

Grandpa sent us a stack of photos last week. There are many which you sent them over the years. We've put them in the respective family envelopes. The next few are random and fun - hope they jog some memories.
