Grandma and Grandpa – Amon and Nora Cantrell

Wonder what year.  How old were they.  They didn’t have grey hair and I doubt they dyed their hair.
It is funny, but this is the way I always remember them.

I am pretty sure this was Grandma, Grandpa and Roger on a visit to Ohio when I was home from the Army.  Don’t know which house.  Hope Vickie or Martha can remember where we lived when you were this age.

Here is another picture of Grandma and Grandpa standing at the back of their house.  I know the well is back there too.  They don’t look much different – just a little older.  I do hope I can go back through some of my original pictures and match up some dates.

I know we can find the date for this and I think I have a picture of Grandpa helping Vickie and Anita at the well.
