Genealogy, Family Photos and Whatever Else Strikes Our Fancy
Hello! I think we’re cousins – I have that same print of the little girl in the white dress somewhere around here. 🙂 You have “Joanna” McLeland but I was always told her name was Jo Ann. Married Henry Clay Taylor Jr. Her daughter Frances Taylor married twice, first to Welburn Allen (one daughter, Frances Mildred Allen, that marriage ended in divorce), then to Franklin Joseph Burger, a farmer near Rosalia, Kansas. They had a daughter, my mother, Maryanna (Burger) Root, and a son William who died in early infancy.
Also my mother says her mom thought she looked so beautiful in that picture. Family lore has it that she wore it to a wedding and told everybody she was “prettier than the bride.”
You have Jo Ann’s other daughter there pictured named as “Cora”. I think that’s actually Constance – “Aunt Con”. Grandma always said she had 2 sisters, Celia who died at 20 months of age and Constance, sometimes called Connie or Con. Grandma took care of her after their mother died when Con was a teenager.
