RE: My Eldest Sister

In the early 70's, a sort of "family census" was done.
Luther Greene (our grandpappa) was born in 1874 and died in 1954, the year before I was born

He spent the last 11 yrs of his life paralyzed by a stroke in a bed

↑Granddaddy Greene and Vidella, and 3 daughters, aunts Lucille, Judy and my mama, Margaret

↑Granddaddy, grandma and three sons, Seaborn, Robert and Luther

Grand Mama Greene was born in 1889 died in 1971

They had 10 children. Each of those had a bunch, so that by the 70's there were several hundred descendants, myself included

My Mama is almost dead center with the young man in a white jacket in front of her, my sister who just died is all the way to the right
As far as I know everyone in this photo is now dead

Sadly, much diabetes and heart disease and some cancer has plagued us since then, and we've stopped having reunions so we are not in touch with each other as a family.
