Lewis Mines family.

Six of the 18 people in this photo are fairly positively identified - 4 of 5 boys in front row, and their parents, Lewis and Carrie Mines, seated in the center. The others are most likely the grown children from Lewis's first marriage, and their children. The unknown children could include Louisa Mines, Nellie Mines Titchenal, Ray Mines, Warren Mines, and Warren's wife Lois Jane Gregg Mines. Location unknown but could be Clarksburg, WV, just before the boys and parents moved to Warren, OH. The contributor's theory is that this was a sort of farewell get-together photo, before Lewis and his "second family" moved away.

Four of the younger boys are named as Lloyd Mines, b Jan 30, 1893; Roscoe Mines, b Nov 1, 1889; Henry Cadwell Mines, b Sep 18, 1885; Wilbur Mines, b Sep 3, 1887. The parents are Carrie Titchenal Mines, b May 20, 1855, and Lewis Mines, b Sep 29, 1834.




Editha Linville Brown and children. Editha (Mrs. Thomas Soder) poses with her five living children (L-R) Alvin, Nona Kay holding the hand of baby Mamie Anne Marie, Myrtle, Editha, and Ora, in Gordon, West Virginia. Ella, the first born, died at age five. Thomas, the father, died 6 Sept 1913, so this family photo may have been taken at around that time.



This photo was found in a LaValley family album. The contributor believes it is the Edmund and Eveline (LaValley) Nault Family. Pictured are Edmund and Eveline and their children, Paul, Philip, Eva, Exima, Edmund Jr., and Peter. For birthdates, see the Ancient Faces entry under the Edmund Nault family.
