Friday Family Photo--The wedding

This handsome young couple, Edna and Jesse Weybright, were married

December 25, 1911. Jesse was the 2nd cousin of my mother and her

siblings--which means they had the same great grandfather, who came to

Ohio from Pennsylvania around 1803. So the groom is my 2nd cousin once

removed. He was about 21 years old here, and my mother hadn't been

born yet. We didn't know any of these people because our branch stayed

in Ohio (near Dayton) until about 1894 (some longer), then on to

Illinois, and this group moved on to Colorado and the family has been

there over 100 years.

Isn't that just the most wonderful hat you ever saw?
