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)

Cones Family

This looks to be from the late 40s. Not sure of everybody. Along the back, it looks like Phyllis, Grandmother, Jeanette, with, I think, Asher behind her. Not sure who the last two are in the back row. It looks like Mom kneeling in front of Phyllis, then Wilma, then Alta. Dave is in the front row with his back turned, Steve is next to him, and Joyce is just to the right of Steve.

Cones Family Cousins

From the back left: Rick, Dave, Tim, Keith, Phil, Preston, Steve, Lynn, Carole, and Joyce and John. Rick, Lynn, and John are the children of Jeanette and Leland Parker. Dave, Steve, Phil, and Tim come from the Vic and Mary Wilson clan. Alta and Clem Estelle are the parents of Keith. Aunt Phyllis is Preston’s mother. Joyce’s parents are Asher and Wilma Cones. Carole’s parents are Dick and Jenny Cones. There are quite a few cousins that couldn’t make it. I think this was taken at a family reunion in Lebanon, Indiana, probably late 70s.
