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.
