Our old maroon woodie (that's REAL wood) outside our brand new house in Anaheim 1954. The house cost $14,000. 4 bedroom! It's about 3 miles from Disneyland, which opened the year following this photo I believe...or close.

my gg grandpa and his wife's wedding day photo - Fall 1865

he'd been away from home for four years, fighting in the Civil War, just before this photo was taken. Both of his brothers died in the war. :-(

Lucky me, right? :-)

p.s. I have his discharge metal (and it still has the ribbon on it) oh - and the frame that photo was in. :-)

Cool Steven...would love to see that metal. I have searched high and low for some of my family metals and havn't found any although I know they exist. I did find all of my Great Grandpa Darius's Civil war info and records, and bought a book on the Civil war that told me his commanders/outing/musterings and all that stuff. You'd be amazed at what you can find.

nice Deedle

i also have all the records bout my gg grandpa

u can get em from the gov (for those that have an interest) - it's real cheap, but they are slowwwwwwwwwww!

suprised? hehe

something i find so hard to believe, is that one can 'buy' a Civil War medal for almost nothing!

the poor guy that walked from WV to Florida and back, has no family left to remember him for what he did, so his medal goes for ten bucks. i don't buy em. :-(

The house my Grandpa Floyd built when my mom was about 4...so that's 1924. She and my dad lived in it later, and 5 daughters were conceived there. We moved out when I was 4. The house still stands.

BTW that's the small city of Los Angeles.
