Some place, some time

I love the caption for this photo in the album: "John and Georgia, location unsure"

John and Georgia, 1941

Georgia and the pine trees

Georgia in Anadarko

Ten cent photos

John and Georgia pose for the photo booth.

More hats

It is entirely possible that I've posted this one before. Georgia Meeker (and at this time, she was probably still Georgia Poage) is standing in back.

As with the last picture, I particularly like the hats that everyone is wearing here.

John courts Georgia

I don't entirely understand what's going on here -- or why this was taken -- but it's pretty funny.

The STARZ club

I'm not sure what "STARZ" is, but I do know that Georgia Meeker is the third from the right.

Meekers and Poages

The album simply captions this one as "with Aunt Emma and Grandmother Poage." The children in the picture are Ben, Mil, Ruthe and Mary. My great-grandmother, Georgia is holding Ruthe and it should be pretty clear who Grandmother Poage is (and she's Georgia Meeker's mother).

An oldie and a goodie

We're not entirely sure who is in this particular picture, but the note in the photo album suggests that the woman on the left is probably Georgia Poage.

Talking a Walk

My great-great uncle Dwight Poage and my Great Aunt Mary (Meeker) Wilson talking a stroll in Albuquerque.

Train depot

My great-great uncle Dwight was an artist. I just found his picture, "At the Old Depot" here. (By the way, that picture comes from the Canada Pacific archives. The internet is amazing).

Oh, and if our viewers are looking for Bradley family photos, we're working on it. I swear. We'll get some scanned in this weekend.

Georgia Meeker

My maternal grandmother's mother, Georgia (Poage) Meeker was born and raised in Bolivar, Missouri.
She married John Meeker, a Presbyterian minister who worked in mission churches throughout the US territories (like Arizona and New Mexico, before they were states). Eventually they ended up back in the Midwest, primarily in Illinois and Kansas.

This is Georgia on her wedding day -- I'll put up pictures of my grandmother in the same wedding dress later. (My great-aunt Mary also wore it ... and my mother ... and my Aunt Pat ... )
