Friday's Photo: Grandparents

Back - Elizabeth Giddens James, Louis James, Mary "Lucy" Glynn Giddens

My new grandson

As I have a new grandson and my friends are calling me grandma, I thought I would post a photo of grandparents. This photo, belonging to my mother, has several! 

The baby in the above photo is Dorothy James, born September 14, 1917 to Elizabeth Giddens James and Louis Miller James. Elizabeth Giddens James was my grandmother's sister. Baby Dorothy was my mother's first cousin. 

Elizabeth was the daughter of Mary "Lucy" Glynn and Charles Giddens. Lucy is pictured above.

Louis was the son of Evan Thomas James and Susanna Miller James. Evan Thomas James is holding Dorothy. Grandma and Grandpa House may be the parents of Grandpa James second wife, Mary House. 

The location of the photo is not known. It was most likely taken in Phillipsburg, New Jersey as many of the family members lived there in 1917.
