Notes to Grandchildren – August 26, 2021 (Mystery)

4 Nov

Dear Grandchildren,

It’s a mystery.

I’ve scanned the photographs that were turned over to me when I became the secretary of the Miller-Funk Reunion.

There are photographs of my grandfather, Frank, my grandmother, Lucy Hennings, and their children.

There are photographs of my great grandfather, Henry, and his wife, Mary Etta Miller, and their children.

There are photographs of my great uncle, Jeremiah, and his wife, Lydia Miller, and their extended family. (Mary Etta Miller and Lydia Miller were sisters; thus, the Miller Funk Reunion.)

There are many photographs of the Miller Funk Reunion.

But … there is a mystery photograph. I can’t recognize anyone. The photograph contains neither date nor names nor location. Who are these people and how do they fit?

All I have are suspicions. I’d like some proof. Could this be a photograph of my second great grandfather, Henry, and his wife, Nancy Province, and their children and grandchildren? If so, it had to have been taken before 28 December 1886, when Henry died.

Solve the mystery for me, please.

Love,

Grandfather
