Papa Loftin, my father's mother's father. He doesn't look pleased. He was born in 1878.

Yup, LONG overdue! And I think Widebrim could or should use his Dad's photo for his avatar... TWINS, separated by only one generation!

Three pics . . .
First, my Great Grandfather William Tecumseh Meade, the Mayor of Kermit WV, along with his two brothers . . . TJ, the Justice of the Peace o fNaughatuck WV, and Anthony Wallace, the local Softshell Baptist Minister.
Next, my Great Grandfather, William Bingham Meande III . . . Grandson of a Revolutionary War Hero, Wm B I, wounded at the Battle of Cowpens, for which he was to receive his acreage in western Virginia . . . my family homestead . . . Son of a Captain in the War of 1812, Wm B II of the Bluebeard Brigade, and himself a son of the Confederacy - Captain in the 14 Virginian. (I still have his wallet, with his CSA bills tucked in the back).
And last, my Uncle William "Berry Bill" Meade . . . who spent the same war as an officer in the union army, and once captured one of his nephews who was fighting on the other side . . .
The lovely lady is my Great Aunt, Evelyn Brewer . . .

Not mine... snapped this while visiting a friend's home last night. Had to take it out of the frame to avoid reflections, hence the additional provenance. Well dressed fishing on Lake Erie, no?

I really hate these postage stamp-sized prints but this was the best I could do. Here's Granddad and my Aunt Sue in 1936.

What a wonderful thread! I've enjoyed the photographs here, very beautiful and elegant. Sadly this is the only photo I could find of my grandfather wearing a hat, he wears western hats when it gets cold and he wears them very well. This one was taken in 1974.
My father doesn't wear them but I found an old photo of him wearing a straw hat.
I wish I could find a photo of my great-grandfather, I was told he was a man always in coat, tie, and hat.

My Great Grandfather was in the Pits at the 1913 Indy 500. Here's a photo of the winner. They drank 6 bottles of champagne during the six hour race.
Here he is astride his 1912 Redding Standard.

My grandfather and I at the Valley Farm near Corsicana, Texas, circa 1953. I don't remember what happened to my foot, but I remember the hat.

Yep. He said he grew it because he didn't want to shave and that is where his beard first started and he had it all his life.......
