This one on the occasion of the 50th wedding anniversary of George W Burris, Sr., and Mary Mathilda Wharton - so that makes it on or around 7 Oct 1927.

This is another one where they left the spouses of their offspring out of the photo. (Did you have to pay by the person back then?)

Photobucket

Standing, left to right:
Richard Benjamin Burris, Ernest Arthur Burris, Dora Emma Burris Crites, William Homer Burris, George W Burris, Jr., and Ottis Gileston Burris.
Seated were the honored couple.

Missing was Walter Monroe Burris.

They were standing in birth order. Ott took his hat off, like a gentleman should.

Someone must have been very Type A - like me.

Now I know where I get it.

What an interesting thought.

I do know that Emma (Dora Emma) and my grandfather, George, Jr., were very close. Emma was the only one of the sisters who lived to adulthood, and George was "her" sibling to care for when he was born. That lasted for life.

I'll ask my dad about the others.

Wrist not much better, but I get to see a new doc this week.
