Contribution from Sidney (Virgil), Eva and the Reeves family

Here are some pictures that have been contributed from Sidney Reeves and family.....


This was taken at Uncle Luther's and Aunt Annie's house in White Settlement
(suburb of Ft. Worth) in about 1953.

Sid, Johnny and Bill. This was taken in Dallas around 1948-49.


Bill, Sid and Johnny. In front of the Reeves farm house, circa.
1946.

Sid fishing from the bridge at Stell's Crossing, over the Neches
River in Van Zandt County. The way the crow flies, it is probably 2 or 3
miles from the Reeves farm. It was also an Indian camp ground where we used
to find arrow heads and broken pottery. I was probably around six years old
-- old enough to smoke a corncob pipe.


Claude and Jewel Reeves -- age 50 and 40 respectively.
