Three Generation Photo of Three Very Strong Ladies
This is a photo of 3 Generations, going from left to right. The gentleman in the far back is Frank Riffle. My Great Grandfather. To the left of him is my grandmother Dora Belle Riffle Kelly, she is holding my cousin, Pam Shanks. To the back right is grandma’s mother Mae Hain Riffle,(My Great Grandmother) the elder in front, I believe is Amelia “Minnie” Putnam Hain. (My 2nd Great Grandmother). If I remember correctly that is what my late mother told me. 2nd Greatgrandma in front married Levi David Hain Sr., not to be confused with their son, Levi David Hain Jr. they lived a good deal of their year’s in Wessington Springs South Dakota. I hope this helps other’s out on their journey.

Amelia Minnie (Putnam) Hain
Minnie as she was known, was one of the daughter’s of Levi David Hain Sr. And Maribee Putnam. Counting 2nd Great Grandma she had 9 siblings, 10 counting herself. Grandpa moved his family around often, but settled in Wessington Springs. Grandpa Hain was born February 14, 1837, in Indiana and died September 17, 1908 at the age of 71, in Crook Co., Wyoming. You can find for information on him, on find-a-grave, ID#171331596. Now Minnie’s mother was Maribee Putnam , her father was Orlean Putnam & mother Amelia Vanderhoof. You might know Orlean by his so called nickname as “Pontiac”. There is a very disturbing story about him and his mother, before the war of 1812.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
