Edna Mae Cones

Mom’s mom was the only grandparent still alive when I was born. She died when I was 10 in 1959. I never got to know here very well. She visited us in Detroit a time or two, and the family went to Thorntown every summer. But on those visits, I was more interested in running around with my cousin Mike, than hanging out with adults.

Mom had this photo in a frame on her dresser for years.

Not sure who is next to Grandmother.

This was her wedding day with her second husband Will Price.

The Cones Family

Grandmother Cones top left, then Alta, Jeanette, Ann, Mom, and Wilma. Ann is married to Mom’s brother Glen, and Wilma to Mom’s brother Asher. Jeanette and Alta are Mom’s sisters. Cousin Joyce, Asher and Wilma’s daughter, is in front of Grandmother. Ann’s daughter Jane is standing in front of Alta.
Cousin Keith in the back. Phil, Joyce, Steve, Dave. Jan and Judy in front of Dave.
Mom and Grandmother Cones on the porch swing. I think that’s Aunt Wilma on the left.
Uncle Glen and Dad.

The Cones family meets in Lebanon

When us Wilson boys were kids, our family vacation was a trip to Indiana. We’d stop in Elwood to visit Dad’s family for an afternoon, then we would go on to Thorntown to meet up with Mom’s family. Some years we would meet in a big park in nearby Lebanon for a big picnic.

Not sure who the kids are, but I think Mom and Alta are sitting next to each other on the left, and Wilma is far right. I think that’s Jeanette next to Wilma, but I’m not sure.
Poker, 1951 is written on the back. Looks like Asher, Dad, and Glen sitting next to each other, with Dave behind them and Steve with his back to the camera. Keith is looking on from the right. On the other side of the table, it looks like Dick sitting next to Park.
Looks like Dave standing behind Steve who is sitting on the bench. But who is sitting next to Steve? I kind of looks like John Parker but he is way to old. Is that Joyce in the next to Dave?
Looks like a bunch of cousins with Grandmother Cones. Dave, Steve, Joyce, and Keith are along the back. Phil is standing directly behind Grandmother. Cousins Jane and Judy (Ann and Glen’s) to the right of grandmother. Carole on Grandmothers lap (Dick and Genny’s). You can barely see Phyllis’ daughter next to Grandmother, and Preston to the left, then Tim. The three babies are from the left, Patty (Phyllis’), Ricky (Jeanette and Park’s) and Marvin (Asher and Wilma’s)
