Two more sons were born later to William and Laura Myrtle (Fields) Lynch, Joseph and John R. Lynch. John, who lives on the site of the former home in Mitchell, Indiana of David Lawrence Sheeks, his ancestor, and besides farming, took care of the Sheeks Cemetery in Mitchell for many years until his son and grandsons could take over. It is located at the foot of the hill towards his home and backs up to the old property of David's parents, George & Elizabeth (Canote) Sheeks. John Lynch is as knowledgeable about the Sheeks as anyone can be, and gave me a great deal of help, for which I will be forever grateful. His mother was the daughter of Priscilla's half-sister, Mary (Sheeks)Fields.

The Carrs and the Neals pose in front of Elsie and John's new car.

In front is Madeline Neal, daughter of Rose (Carr) Neal, who is behind her. Next to Rose is her sister, Elsie (Carr) Tyree. In the rear are John Edwin Carr, Rose's son; Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr, and George W. Carr, her husband, both of whom raised John. From a shadow, I believe George is smoking a pipe.

Madeline Neal, daughter of Rose (Carr) Neal, and Eleanor Fields, daughter of Alma and Albert Fields, George Field's son, are in the front row; George W. Carr and Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr, his wife; Addie (Fields) Leonard, George Field's daughter; and Rose (Carr) Neal are in the middle row, and George Fields is in the rear.

John brought Erma to Lawrence County to introduce her to his many relatives.

I do not know the name of the little boy on the left in front of Judith (Spencer) Sheeks. The woman between Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr and Erma (Horvath) Carr is Ellie (Fields)Sheeks.

Alfred and Roy, old fishing buddies, proudly show off their catch to Roy's sister, Rose, and their mother, Priscilla.

Kneeling and sitting in the front row were: Howard Neal, Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr with James Tanksley on her knee, Rose (Carr) Neal with Betty Lou Neal in front of her, and George William Neal aka "Billy." Standing in back row: David H. Sheeks, Edwin Lee Sheeks (although he denies it); if not, an unknown Neal, son of Mrs. Roy (Beulah White) Neal, who is next, Robert C. Neal, Nora (Carr) Wilson, Isis (Sheeks) Carr, Albert Wayne Sheeks, Madeline (Neal) Tanksley, Homer Sheeks, Roy Neal (holding Priscilla Rose Neal), Roy Sheeks, Mrs. Roy (Olive) Sheeks, and Mrs. William (Ada Martin) Tanksley.

The five generations include: Roy Neal, on the left, son of Rose (Carr) Neal, holding a baby, representing the fifth generation; Priscilla (Sheeks) Carr, mother of Rose (Carr) Neal, representing the first generation; Rose (Carr) Neal, representing the second generation, with a little girl in front of her, representing the fifth generation; George William Neal, representing the fourth generation. Note: I do not think that the children that Roy and Rose are holding are George William's children.

Priscilla is Robert's paternal great grandmother. He served in the U. S. Navy but I do not know if he was leaving for active duty, or was home on leave.

George W. Carr and Elizabeth (Carr) Walker were siblings, children of Allen Carr and Jane Busick. Elizabeth aka Betty married Wesley William Walker on Feb 20, 1872, and was his third wife. He had married 1) Rachel Pless on Dec 1, 1866 and 2) Mary Pless on Nov 16, 1870. Thelma, Doris, Kathryn, Sue, & Robert were the children of Burns Henry Railing and Carrie May Walker, one of the daughters of Wesley and Elizabeth.

This was one of several picture postcards Mary Isis Sheeks sent to her cousin, John Edwin Carr. It was postmarked 2 Feb, but the year cannot be deciphered. Each person has a number with which one can match his or her name, if known. Please let me know if you help.
