Teresa Seeman:
This is a picture of my great-grandparents and their children that lived in Ashland, Schyulkill County, Pennsylvania in the mid-to-late 1800's. This pic was probably taken around 1895 or so. Daughter, Mary Agnes (top left) had a hare-lip which is why her face is turned away from the camera. Laura (Loretta) is in the first row between her parents, and my grandfather, Joseph Vincent is on the end. Not sure who the other 2 daughters are; I originally thought Anna was in the top middle and Kathryn was on the end, however, Kathryn was about 10 years younger than my grandfather so I don't think she was born yet. Another daughter, Teresa was not born yet either. Anna was the oldest followed by Mary Agnes so I believe one of the 2 girls on the top is Anna, but which one...
Who the 2 daughters are on the top right?

Joseph Smith:
Freeman was my pawpaw. Last HOORAH - He worked up until the day he left this earth. The nearest hospital was about 25-30miles away. I had came down to help a cousin move her things and he saw me.
PULLS UP
PAWPAW: I need you to come and take me and Earl(Grandma) to the hospital.
Me: Yes sir I can hurry and get this off my truck.
PAWPAW: No time come we gotta go.
Me: Scared as all get out for my grandma. Jumps in his van and drive to the house.
PAWPAW: Gets out and goes in then comes right back out. She said she not going lets go.
Me: Even more confused he not showing one sign of pain. Take off driving normal.
PAWPAW: Off the rock rd now. Come on lets go.
Me: Looking at him closely now I see this huge lump like in his chest to stomach area I speed up but curves are coming I gotta maintan the road. I get off the gas for curve then stomp it because hes still up but not in his riding postion.(iykyk) The van jerks and starts to lose power.
PAWPAW: Whats goin on
Me: It turned off. Close to st charles was going to coast to the gas station for help.
PAWPAW: Pull over and pop the hood.
Me: Yes sir
PAWPAW: Grab that stick from the back. Hold up the hood. 2-5 minutes under the hood. He say go try it.
Me: cranks up. Picture this he climbed all the way up in the hood to put on or reset whatever it was. I get back out to get the stick hes down with the stick and closing the hood.
PAWPAW: Lets go. Drive
Me: I thought I was in a corvette the way I was moving passing people getting on down.
PAWPAW: He jumps out and walks in the hospital tells the lady whats going on she jumps up grabs a chair and take him to the back.
Nurse: Do you have his meds
Me: No maam. I didnt even know I was taking him to the dr until we was getting ready to back out.
I called who could help with all that then they said they was taking him to little rock and somebody was on the way to ride. I was to go back and head to the airport my aunt and uncles was on they way. Not ever imagining that would be my last time talking to him. So much more I wouldve said or did
Anthiony Gentile:
My spiritual sister - I got to know Mirella when I was 16 (1961).
As an only child for 15 years I had always wanted a sister. Mirella to me was the perfect sister. we lost touch over many years an caught later in life when I travelled through the US and visited Mirella and Paul.
A wonderful memory was when the three of us went to an amusement park in San Francisco. Mirella and Paul as I was were unafraid of whatever ride we went on.
I visited Mirella and Paul a number of times over the years and was witness to her illness.
She will always remain in my memory as the sister that I wished I had. Paul, looked after her to the end, and for that he has my eternal gratitude.

Patricia Fuller:
James was my dad. He was unappreciated in his life. His father Charles abandoned his wife and three children James Charles and Dorothy. Growing up without a father shaped his view of life. He was a career Air Force. He was generous. He would step up and try to help others. He married my mother Maxine and adopted her three young sons. He was a good provider.

This photo is of widow Robert Waldman Longo who had two sons, Richard and William. Roberta disappeared around 1939 when her sons were babies. According to Richard, he was playing ball in his front yard when Roberta said she was going to the store. She got into a taxi and was never heard from again. Roberta's husband, William "Toots" Longo died in 1939. Roberta's mother Nellie Waldman raised the boys after Roberta disappeared. A detective named Basil Creek from the Dayton Police tried to find Roberta shortly after her disappearance to no avail. Please contact me if you have any information about Roberta. We would love to find any information about her.
