Merry Christmas! Here is my mother and her family at Christmas around 1950 at my grandparents home on Roosevelt Avenue in Hamilton, Massachusetts. Seventy-three Christmases have come and gone since this photograph was taken.
Back row, my Auntie Mamie (Mary Cecelia Horgan Allen) holding her son, Marty (Martin Michael Allen, born 1950), next to my Uncle Donald Franklin Allen holding Mamie's son, Mickey (Stanley Elmer Allen III), next to my grandfather, Stanley Elmer Allen, my Auntie Barbara, and her husband Edward Baxter Thacher.
In the middle, my mother is in the plaid shirt.
The next row down is my Uncle Dickie (Richard Lewis Allen), my grandmother, Gertrude Matilda Hitchings Allen), my Uncle Bobbie (Robert Arthur Allen) and my great aunt (sister to my grandmother) Eunice Mary Hitchings Bunce).
In the front row the two children seated on the floor are my cousins Sandra Lee Thacher and Allen Baxter Thacher.
Nearly everyone in this photo has passed away since this photograph was taken in Hamilton, Massachusetts. Only four relatives are still living today. My mother was one of seven siblings, and she is still with us, as well as her youngest brother Dickie. Even most of my first cousins in this photo have passed away except for Sandra and Allen.
