All we need is love! Sept 30th is National Love People Day. Half of the people at a family reunion almost 100 yrs ago - imagine how many more people there are to love now.

And I've never seen such a tacky post , Saralyn! These
peoples families thought they were beautiful. What if someone said your kids or someone you loved were ugly?? People can change their looks. Stupid is forever.

Stand for an hour at the door of a Walmart and watch people going in and out. You'll see plenty of "ugly" people. People don't look any prettier or uglier than they ever did, but the hairstyles back then for the women were extremely unflattering. Few people smiled in photos back then, and there are just as many folks who were born with a "resting b**** face" now as there were then.

Perhaps you watch too much tv and think all nurses, teachers, cops, lawyers, etc. are supposed to be at least good-looking, if not gorgeous...especially all those "teens" in shows who are actually in the mid to late 20's, but have perfect hair and make-up and very fashionable clothes.

One thing that is interesting is how few of these people were obese. Maybe 5 adults and one chubby child out of the whole group.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley you are nothing to write home about yourself and more likely than not it’s the best photo of yourself you could find. Just nasty

Devlyn Frey-mundorf

I don't think they're ugly...just not smiling....there is a big difference....must be a lot of love in that family for so many to show up to congregate and catch up

Be nice, they all just survived a pandemic. We're not collectively looking too hot ourselves right now.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley i tell my third graders that sometimes we think things but don’t have to “say” them. A good test is to ask oneself is the thought true, kind, necessary? If not at least two, don’t bother.

Marielos Vargas

Saralyn Bennett Brantley all you see is a mirror of yourself. If you see others are ugly...well, you know the rest girl.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley your not much to look at either. How do you like it!

Saralyn Bennett Brantley Take a look in the mirror and repeat that observation and see how ugly you look saying it.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley You are a pathetic person, those could be the nicest people in the world all you see is what you perceive to be ugliness, sad.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley saying sorry because you are rude and obnoxious would be a better use of your comment.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley you should look in the mirror...

Jan Burrell

Saralyn Bennett Brantley wow it takes a special kind of person to see a photo about 'Love People' and make it extremely ugly. Your insides are showing! Get some therapy!

Sep 30, 2020 on

Amy Leigh Adams

Saralyn Bennett Brantley with that many people in the family (pic only shows half that were at the reunion) you might actually be a distant relative of one or more of them. I thought people your age were taught if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. You are probably also one of those people who would be the first to get their knickers in a twist if one of the younger generations said something rude. What a nasty, dried up bitter old hag you grew up to be, you’re as pleasant as you are pretty.....

Sep 30, 2020 on

Saralyn Bennett Brantley Yes you have! Case in point.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley life was shorter and harder with hygiene, medicine and nutrition not what they are today.

Oct 01, 2020 on

Danette Ancelet

I always look for the resemblances sort of like a game, but a bit sad since I know I am mostly looking at folks whose lives are completed.

Saralyn Bennett Brantley there is no beauty in you.so what's your point

Saralyn Bennett Brantley I’d think an old woman like you would’ve learned the golden rule by now. Ugly is as ugly does.

Not one of these folks is smiling. Not thrilled to be posing, I guess.

Jackie Luckey we didn't smile in pictures till the 80's

You can tell they're all related. The guy in the dark tank top in the back row is cute.

Not very happy bunch; maybe they were attending someone’s funeral.

Sep 30, 2020 on

Amy Gary

Ann Weagle Most gathered for only weddings or funerals.

Beth Stone

Very early technology made it harder to capture smiles

One common explanation for the lack of smiles in old photos is that long exposure times — the time a camera needs to take a picture — made it important for the subject of a picture to stay as still as possible. That way, the picture wouldn't look blurry. It had nothing to do with how they felt. Of course, if people did their research like I did, they would know this.

Sarah Rupe

I agree!

My grandparents said family reunions used to be a week-long event. People would bring their campers, park for the week and just visit with family, the kids play together. Then it became just a weekend event. Now you're lucky to get anyone there for an afternoon. We've really lost sight of what's important. People now have difficulty just holding conversations, "visiting" like the old folks do. It's just sad.

Sep 30, 2020 on

Alana Lee

It wasn't a common practice to smile in photos til the 1930s and '40s. I'm impressed they could gather together the whole family like this!

Jeanab Wattimeong America why can't anyone understand people didn't smile till the 90's

Fiona Teale

I love this photo smiles or not! Can't imagine getting this many of my family in one place these days. Everyone is always busy, or don't care, or is fighting with half the family! I would love to have a family reunion as big as this without all the technology and just sit, eat, drink, play games and just chat!

Sep 30, 2020 on

Fiona Teale

Helen Temoff Pratt that's actually a great idea!

Sep 30, 2020 on

Fiona Teale it was a real treat because we are at an age where travel difficult and located in several states.

Bob Gaines

WONDERFUL picture, and how great to have that many family members at a reunion!!! Sad to think that even the small children in this photo are all in their graves by now. Many of those little boys probably fought in World War II, and the girls may have been "Rosie the Riveters" in war factories. Also very sad to know that they all had the Great Depression in their near future! How many survived it?
