The Smith Women

Janet Widell has been busy with her scanner and Orville’s slide collection. Thanks to her, we all get to enjoy the first batch of images, from the 1959 Smith family reunion. I’ve uploaded the full-size images to my Flickr account and you can access them by clicking on the thumbnails at the bottom of this post.

Here’s one shot from the series that shows the six Smith siblings (Jeanette, Jennie, Etta, Catherine,  Tena, and Henry John) with their spouses. With my dad’s help, I believe I’ve identified them all. Let me know if you have any corrections.

Below that are two earlier family portraits. I’m trying to match the faces…
