Grandma and Grandpa – Amon and Nora Cantrell

Mom's Parents, Amon and Nora

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.

Carl visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  Not sure when this was either.  Obviously, a little older. 

More from Danielle – Woodie’s Granddaughter

Hey! Woodena said she’s happy to hear from you! She does remember you but not as much as she remembers Vickie and Martha. She says that she remembers visiting you all when you lived in a big house and raised rabbits but she doesn’t remember what part of Ohio it was.

I would contribute to the history but I really don’t know that much about it. Woodena remembers the names of Goldie’s sisters and brothers but don’t know when they were born, birthdates, or anything like that. She knows most of the names of their children but that’s all. So we don’t know too much history!

Woodena said how old are you if you don’t mind us asking? She is getting ready to turn 55 soon. She had both knees replaced so it’s hard for her to get around much. She said that she hated hearing about Goldie passing away. She said Goldie was one of her favorite aunts because she always told such funny stories when she visited Woodie.

I am 23 years old and I have a sister that is 35. My sister has a 3 year old daughter, that’s my moms only grandchild so she is spoiled!

So if you need to know the names of Goldie’s sisters and brothers and their children we can help you out on that but that’s about all we know, sorry!
