As the anticipation builds for the upcoming reunion on July 5th (which is sneaking up fast)... for all of you who didn't get in on the blog until recently, I am bringing forward the very first post from October 2005 which outlined the families of Francis (Frank) Avery St.Clair... my Grandfather.
Many of us were confused about the family and who was who because of Grandpa's three wives. The first two died and the third wife, Grandma Pansy, stuck around to see all of us Grandchildren grow up. So, here it is again so you can get a handle on who fits where:
Here is the chart from where we all come from. Tell me how you fit in... and let's expand this outline into the youngest generations. Fill in any blanks you can and tell us some stories:
Here's what I know, as family from Grandpa Frank...
He and first wife, Edith Eskridge Tarbell, had four children:
1) LeRoy Francis, born 1907
2) Jessie, born 1909
3) Lewis, born 1910
4) Oba Leonard (Obie to us), born 1912
Frank and his second wife, Amy Nora Henderson, had
one child:
Amy
This is my Mother, born 1916, and died in 1959 as a result of being hit by a car as a pedestrian. Amy was married to Bruce Klock (my Dad), who died in 1964 of lung cancer. Bruce and Amy had two children:
Clair Klock, born March 29, 1951
Carol Klock, born April 7, 1952
After the death of both parents, Clair & Carol were raised by Bruce's only brother, Orval, and his wife, Dorothy Klock who lived in Corbett, Oregon.
The first picture is my Mom and Dad (Amy and Bruce) and the second of my brother, Clair, and me when we were just little munchkins... oh so many years ago!
Frank and his third wife, Pansy Fay Reeve, had seven children:
1) Frank Willard (Bud), born 1921
2) Fay Rose, born 1922
3) Harold Lee, born 1924 (Still living)
4) Laurence Victor, born 1925
5) Howard Ray, born 1927
6) Marian Ruth, born 1929 (Still living)
7) Glen Dell (just Dell to us), born 1932 (Still living)
If you are into "originals", here is a link to that very first post in October of 2005 . Also, here is a link to 2005 articles. You can scroll down to the July 28th post about the group pictures of the St. Clair men and women included in this post. I love these group pictures!!!
Happy Sunday!
