    Townsend Lineage - Interesting Only to Me!

    I found pictures of some of my past relatives which I wanted to share with you all. I had never seen even a picture of my Great-Grandfather before. My brother Larry was visiting us recently and gave me some information he has been putting together for our family geneology. I used this info to find these pictures of my Great-Grandfather Robert M. Townsend and my Great-Grandmother Mary Catherine Townsend. The pictures below can explain.
    This is Mary Catherine and Robert Mack Townsend. Robert was the son of William T. "Buck" Townsend and Mary Elizabeth "Jennie" Townsend, and was born in 1865 and died in 1942. Mary was born in 1869, and died October 13, 1901. They had six children, one of whom was my Grandfather, Bailey W. Townsend. born in 1897. The other children were Mertie, Lala, Bethel, Lou Eva, and Bistle.  
     
    This picture was taken in 1903 and shows Robert shortly after his marriage on July 15, 1903 to Minnie Bell (Hunter) Townsend. They were the parents of eight children, Ishmael, Roy Lee, Herman, Willie, Viola, Opal, Jessie, and Bessie. So, does anyone think I look at all like my Great-Grandfather Robert Mack? Any family characteristics which are the same?
     
    This is a picture of Mirtie May (Townsend) Eastwood, my Grandfather Bailey's sister, at age 24, with her second daughter Girtie Elizabeth Eastwood. Girtie was born February 20, 1911.

    Celia Bella Garrisi - "They need to feed that child," said Grampa Mike Hoover.
     
    Really, we had better camp food; even steaks on the grill last night. But Celia likes bones.
     
    Brian Miller challenges the group with a message about Simeon and Levi's anger and sin.
     
    More Bible Drills. Man, are they good! They are the first ones to get to my text when I state what it is.
